Bio:
I graduated from UIUC in May 2024 with a B.S. in Engineering Mechanics, with a secondary field in Robotics. I returned to the MechSE department as a direct Ph.D student studying Mechanical Engineering in August 2025. I moved labs after my first semester, joining HDCL in February 2025. Upon first joining HDCL, I helped with grant writing and literature reviews, as well as working on the PURE Gen 3 TES system. As of May 2025, I am now working on the Mixed Reality Neuro Task Trainer Project.
