I am a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University, advised by Matei Ciocarlie. I am a member of the Robotic Manipulation and Mobility (ROAM) Lab, where I build robotic exoskeletons for assisting and rehabilitating hand dexterity after upper-limb impairment. My research interests include electromechanical design of robotic exoskeletons and human-robot interfaces, motor coordination and adaptation with physical human-robot interaction, and aligning robotics development with the application priorities of clinicians and impaired users. I am an NIH F31 Fellow and am supported by a Ruth L. Kirchstein National Research Service Award.

Before joining Columbia, I was a research assistant at Harvard University and worked with Paul Shamble. I received my Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from MIT, where I worked with Hugh Herr and Arthur Petron.

Currently, I have the pleasure to work with the following Columbia MS and undergraduate students: Grace Munger, Matheu Campbell, Shiyao Marcus Lam, Elise Yang, Andrew Chin.
