I am a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University, advised by Matei Ciocarlie. I work in the Robotic Manipulation and Mobility (ROAM) Lab, where I build robotic exoskeletons for assisting and rehabilitating hand dexterity after upper-limb impairment. I study electromechanical design of robotic exoskeletons, human motor coordination and adaptation during robotic assistance, physical human-robot interaction and biofeedback, and robotics accessibility and user-centered design for clinicians and impaired users. I am an NIH F31 Fellow, 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 to study spider jumping and locomotion. I received my Bachelors at MIT in Mechanical Engineering, where I worked with Hugh Herr and Arthur Petron. I also interned at Dephy, Apple, and Formlabs.

Currently, I have the pleasure to work with the following Columbia MS and undergraduate students: Connor Lee, Grace Munger, Akshay Venkatesan, Matheu Campbell, Shiyao Marcus Lam.
