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 hand exoskeletons for assistance and rehabilitation. 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.

My doctoral work builds robotic exoskeletons to assist users in regaining volitional motor control of their own hands. Research interests include electromechanical design of hand exoskeletons for paretic users [RA-L'22, ICORR'22, T-MRB'24], human adaptation and physical effects of human-robot interaction [BioRob'24, ICORR'25], and aligning robotics development with the application priorities of clinicians and the rehabilitation community [DisabilRehabil'24]. I am an NIH F31 Fellow and am supported by a Ruth L. Kirchstein National Research Service Award.
