I am a member of the Technical Staff within the Integrated Missile Defense Technology group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. With a focus on enabling safe autonomy in pursuit of forging new frontiers, my work explores topics from formal methods in control to quantification of risk using techniques from machine learning. I aim to promote our collective understanding of the robotic mind and its ability to interact with bodies both human and otherwise.

Consistent with my interest in robotics of sound mind and body is my love of running, indeed there are few hobbies which demand so much of the two. Outside the lab, you may find me sprinting up one of Ann Arbor’s many hills or clipping off quarter mile repeats at Michigan’s storied Ferry Field. In fact, in 2021 I competed in the 800m at the US Track & Field Olympic Trials in Eugene, OR, where I placed 23rd. Since then, however, I have taken on a new role as athlete emeritus while I embark on a (possibly permanent) hiatus from competitive running.
