I recently finished my Master's of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, advised by Professor Daniela Rus and Professor Sertac Karaman in MIT's CSAIL Distributed Robotics Laboratory. My Master's research focused primarily on investigating and applying novel deep reinforcement learning algorithms to autonomous vehicles. Prior to my Master's, I completed my Bachelor's of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Mathematical Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2020.

Outside of research, I had the chance to work as a teaching assistant for MIT's 6.801/6.866: Machine Vision course under Professor Berthold K.P. Horn (Fall 2020), as well as pursue graduate coursework in reinforcement learning, computer vision for autonomous vehicles, and probabilistic programming. In my free time, I enjoy running, biking, and Krav Maga, as well as lifting weights and listening to some good old heavy metal.
