I am a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. candidate at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University specializing in autonomous vehicles, robotics and artificial intelligence. My prior academic background comprises M.S. and B.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo.

My research interests revolve around AI enhanced navigation, and cooperative perception in autonomous vehicles, and I currently conduct research at the Autonomous Systems and Intelligent Machines Lab at Tech to advance autonomous vehicle technology for safe, and robust road adoption.

Outside of robotics and research, I enjoy hiking, biking, weightlifting, photography, and video games.
