Introduction


I am a graduate student in Computer Science at Brown University. I started here in 2011 after transferring from U Chicago.

I joined Stefanie Tellex in the Humans to Robots Laboratory in Fall 2014. My research involves the joint solution of problems from artificial intelligence, robotics, computer vision, and control systems. My approaches emphasize a combination of theory and engineering. I have been strongly influenced by design patterns and algorithms, and I draw from my background in analysis and physics when appropriate.

Before 2011 I worked at Havok in SF for a year and a half, and before that I spent two years earning an MA in Math at UC Berkeley.

My undergraduate degree is from FSU in Mathematics.

Interests


I am a fan of cats, trees, water, wind, and tea.
