Hello, I'm Nick.
I'm an undergraduate student at North Carolina State University, studying Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. My interests include Robotics, Planning, and Algorithms.
In my free time I like to cook, build scale models, go to the gym, and read. I play 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, Signalis, and Minecraft.

> Research_
I work in the HIER Lab on learning-based approaches to legged robot locomotion. My current focus is translating human motion capture data to quadrupedal robots using deep learning-based motion retargeting.
My broader interests are in the algorithmic foundations of robot navigation, agile locomotion, and motion planning. I want to build robots that can safely assist people with tasks that are dangerous, physically demanding, or otherwise out of reach.
