I am currently a software engineer working on the Planning Team at Zoox.

Previously, I completed a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the University of Pennsylvania as a member of the GRASP Lab advised by Prof. Vijay Kumar. My research focused on solving practical, fundamental challenges at the intersection of robotics and wireless systems using search based planning, optimization and machine learning. In 2019 I was awarded a NSF graduate research fellowship. Before joining Penn, I completed BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering at Drexel University where I worked in the ScalAR Lab with Prof. Ani Hsieh.
