I am an undergraduate student at North Carolina State University, majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. I currently work as an undergraduate research assistant in the Hier Lab, where I research learning based approaches to legged robot locomotion.
My acedimic interest include Robot Learning, Safe Autonomy, and Perception. I aim to develop robots to safely assist humans in challenging, dangerous, or otherwise inaccessible tasks. Besides robotics, I am also interested in Software Systems and Programming Languages.
Outside academics, I like to cook, sculpt, build scale models, go to the gym, and read. I play the bass guitar and love listening to a wide variety of music. I also play a lot of games. Some of my favorites include Elden Ring and Minecraft. In my free time, I have been developing a cooperative TTRPG-inspired roguelite with the working title Dungeon Crawl.
I am also a recipient of the Goodnight Scholarship, where I serve as a peer mentor and tutor for new transfer students.
I am always looking for opportunities to work on developing technologies in the robotics space. If you are interested in me or my work, please feel free to reach out.

My research focuses on developing autonomous robots capable of operating safely and effectively in complex, human-centered environments. I'm particularly interested in enabling robots to assist with daily tasks currently inaccessible to many people. Applications of these Robots include helping older adults with household chores, assisting disaster relief personnel in dangerous environments, or maintaining the health of crops for farmers. The common thread among these types of Robots is that they must perceive and reason about dynamic environments while safely navigating around humans.
My current work explores translating human motion capture data to quadrupedal robots using deep learning-based motion retargeting. This project enables human teleoperators to intuitively control quadrupeds and leverage these robots' superior stability and adaptability. This research has applications in controlling quadrupeds in hazardous or inaccessible environments, such as disaster zones or industrial sites, where human-level intelligence is necessary but humans and humanoid robots cannot safely operate.
