Hi! I’m a passionate roboticist, an avid rock climber, and an amateur DJ. I’m currently a PhD candidate with the Healthcare Robotics Laboratory at Georgia Tech, advised by Prof. Charlie Kemp. Broadly, I’m interested in developing mobile manipulator systems for perceiving and interacting with humans.

I’ve been climbing for 10 years, and I’m lucky to live near several great climbing areas in the Southeastern US. Lead climbing is awesome, but my heart lies with bouldering. Say hey if you see me at the crag!

For a while, I opened for EDM shows at a nightclub in Knoxville, TN. Graduate school affords less time for DJing, but these nights are some of my favorite memories!
