I am a Robotics Ph.D. Candidate with Professor Christoforos Mavrogiannis in the Fluent Robotics Lab at the University of Michigan. Broadly, my research interests are computational human-robot interaction, robot learning, and applied mathematics. More specifically, my research focuses on developing methods that will enable socially aware robot navigation and human motion prediction in high-complexity, unstructured, dynamic human environments.

Prior to joining the Fluent Robotics Lab, I received a B.S. in Computer Science with a Mathematics minor from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. There, I worked in the Intelligent Motion Lab with Professor Kris Hauser on mobile robot navigation and shared control for robot avatar teleoperation.
