I am a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, advised by Allison Okamura. I am a member of the Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine (CHARM) Lab, where I work on wearable haptic interfaces to convey, augment, or restore the human perception of touch.
Previously, I completed my PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University, where I was a member of the Robotic Manipulation and Mobility (ROAM) Lab led by Matei Ciocarlie. My doctoral work builds robotic exoskeletons to assist paretic users in volitional motor control over their own hands. I merge exoskeleton design [RA‑L'22, ICORR'22, T‑MRB'24], and studies of human adaptation and physical effects of human-robot interaction [BioRob'24, ICORR'25], to work towards better aligning robotics development with the application priorities of clinicians and the rehabilitation community [DisabilRehabil'24]. I was an NIH F31 Fellow and was supported by a Ruth L. Kirchstein National Research Service Award.
Prior to my PhD, 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.
