Yale University
I am currently a PhD Student in Mechanical Engineering at Yale University (started August 2017, completed MS and MPhil in 2019). My research interests include dexterous manipulation with underactuated robotic hands, motion planning, and machine learning for dexterous tasks. Ultimately, I want to enable robots to better interact with human-made, unstructured environments. I conduct my research in the GRAB Lab led by Professor Aaron Dollar.

National Recognition as an Undergraduate
In June of 2016, I was named a Tau Beta Pi Scholar and in June of 2017, I was named a Tau Beta Pi Graduate Fellow. This national engineering honor society is one of the oldest honor societies in the United States, and is comprised of several chapters within every state. Approximately 250 students are awarded this scholarship and only 20 graduate students are awarded this fellowship every year.
On March 31, 2016, I was named a Barry M. Goldwater Scholar. This scholarship is ranked among the most prestigeous STEM scholarships for undergraduates in the United States. It was an honor to represent my friends, family, and univeristy in this manner as being the 7th person ever to receive such a recognition from YSU.
