Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the eventorganiser domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Advisor: Rick Stevens

I completed my undergraduate from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2019, finishing with a BS with Honors in Mechanical Engineering, and a minor in Computer Science. I started at UChicago in 2020 to focus on robotics research to automate scientific discovery.

I am interested in robotics and automation, especially combined with artificial intelligence to enhance robot learning and planning. My current research is with Rick Stevens and Arvind Ramanathan at Argonne National Laboratory to design robotics simulations using NVIDIA Omniverse for automated science at scale.
