Welcome to my page!
I am a PhD student advised by Sam Burden.
Through my research I want to help improve the lives of people with disabilities, exploring topics like improved prosthetics feedback and brain-computer interfaces. My work is very interdisciplinary spanning neural engineering, signal processing, machine learning, and control systems theory. I love learning, and prefer to focus more on the potential impacts of my work than restrict myself to a specific field.
I did my BS/MS in Computer Engineering at Case Western Reserve University, working at the cutting edge of human-robot interaction and additive manufacturing. I was a SOURCE STEM Scholar and winner of the Robert L. Shurter Prize. Under the mentorship of Prof. Alexis E. Block, I researched how interaction modalities affect human perception and comfort during human-robot collaboration — using Baxter robots to build more socially aware systems.
