A Little About ​Myself.

​I am a PhD candidate at Stanford University in the AeroAstro department. I moved to the Bay Area in 2016 after finishing my undergraduate degree in at the University of Toronto in Engineering Science with an aerospace specialization and a minor in robotics.

I became interested in robotics in my third year as an undergraduate student. Developing robotic intelligence that has vast potential to help people is inspiring. Robotics has had an impact on humanity in so many ways: from exploration on Mars to minimally invasive surgery to increased transportation mobility.  

​I currently work on uncertainty-aware robot perception systems that enable temporal predictions and occlusion inference. Autonomous vehicles are particularly exciting for me as an application of robotics due to their potential to increase independent mobility for senior citizens and individuals with disabilities. My interests in robotics more broadly extend to manufacturing, warehousing, aerospace, and in-home domains.

In my spare time, I take contemporary dance classes, travel, paint, and work towards improving my culinary skills.
