About me

I am prospective Ph.D student in the areas of systems and robotics. I am passionate about collaborative learning and aim to inspire others to become lifelong learners through my research and teaching. In high school, I was duel-enrolled at the County College of Morris and graduated with Certificates in Mechanical Engineering Technology and Mechanical CAD in 2018. I went on to study mathematics and computer science at Boston University while working at the Boston University Morphable Biorobotics Labfocusing on advanced control of surgical robots graduating in 2022. At the end of January, I will be joining Red Hat Research as a research scientist intern working on cloud computing and distributed systems.

Research Experience Areas

distributed systems, cloud and mobile computing, robotics, haptics, control, simulation, machine-learning, as well the fabrication of space hardware currently onbaord the International Space Station.

Recent Work

Red Hat Research

I am extremeley excited to be joining Red Hat Research as a research scientist intern at the Boston University - Red Hat Research Collaboratory working on open source distributed systems in the cloud and Dr. Jonathan Appavoo’s Foundations in Open Source Education project.

Boston University Morphable Biorobotics Lab

I was fortunate enough to work under the mentorship of Dr. Tommaso Ranzani and Jacob Rogatinsky working on advanced control methods for our labs surgical robots.

Dartmouth College Learning Intelligence and Signal Processing Lab

I was lucky to have the oppurtunity to work under the guidance of Dr. Peter Chin working on the multivariate time series forecasting of geospatial data for the NSF Algorithms for Threat Detection Challenge where our learning model placed seconf overall in a national competition.
