About

I am a first-year MS student at CMU studying control and robotics at the Intent Lab. At UCLA, I have been involved in research with SCI Autonomy, PRACTICE Lab and Visual Machines Group. In addition to that, I have interned 4 times at The Aerospace Corporation working on algorithms for signal processing and communication systems, and served as the President of IEEE at UCLA.
