I am an incoming Assistant Professor at The University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Currently I am a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT CSAIL working with Professor Daniela Rus. I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania advised by Professor Mark Yim (ModLab in UPenn GRASP Lab ).
I am actively recruiting postdoctoral researchers, graduate and undergraduate students who are passionate about robotics. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in joining my group. More information can be found here.
