• Project Engineer on hardware and software focused projects including a Digital Multimeter, ESP32 Walkie Talkie, and an uninterruptible power supply for a Raspberry Pi 5 • Contributed to PCB design, circuit testing, soldering, hardware assembly, and project documentation. • Developed embedded firmware for microelectronic-based measurement and communication • Helped coordinate project teams, communicate technical goals, and support new members
I conduct research on safe and intelligent human-robot interaction in hazardous environments as part of the NSF REU program, working under Dr. Lingfeng Tao. My work focuses on creating a drink serving robot that models human intent using multimodal sensory data (visual, thermal, touch) and enhancing safety and comfort in human-robot collaboration. I actively design and implement teleoperation strategies, conduct experiments with physical robotic systems, and evaluate performance using custom metrics to assess safety, reliability, and user satisfaction.
