I'm an engineer & researcher who is excited about robots and creating technology that feels like magic.

These days, I'm exploring problems in human-robot interaction as a master's student at Stanford University. I recently built a multi-robot flocking experience at the Stanford Robotics Center, and am currently working on an interactive robot exhibit at the Exploratorium.

Previously, I graduated from UC Berkeley, where I conducted human-AI interaction research under Anca Dragan, tinkered with machine learning at Launchpad, and taught Discrete Math & Probability. I also spent summers on the perception teams at Everyday Robots and Ford Greenfield Labs.

When I'm not behind a screen, you can often find me playing carillon, chasing the end of my reading list, or doing New York Times crosswords with friends :)
