I joined the Robotic Materials department in 2021 as a Ph.D. student. In my research I focus on solving practical problems by using artificial muscles. This involves developing new types of electrohydraulic actuators, soft sensors, high-voltage electronics and control algorithms- all of which combine to enable bio-inspired robotic systems with novel capabilities.

Before joining the Robotic Materials department, I earned an M.Sc. in mechanical engineering at the University of Colorado, Boulder while researching in the Keplinger Research Group. In 2019 I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Pittsburgh with a B.Sc. in mechanical engineering and a minor in computer science.
