“I build a robot's eyes and
the worlds where they learn to use them.”

Robotics MS @ Carnegie Mellon —
Perception, Simulation & Manipulation.

I'm pursuing a master's in Mechanical Engineering (Robotics) at Carnegie Mellon, where my focus is perception and simulation for manipulation. I owned the full camera-perception pipeline on CMU's first NASA Lunabotics rover, built a physics-accurate Isaac Sim digital twin for autonomous cable untangling at CERLAB, and co-authored a Q1 journal paper on vision-guided EV-charging robots. I'm now moving toward learning-based manipulation and embodied AI.
