About Me
I am a Master's student at the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute (RI), advised by Prof. Carmel Majidi (Soft Machines Lab) and Prof. Zachary Manchester (RExLab).
My research focuses on Physical Intelligence in aquatic environments. I explore how morphology, materials (variable stiffness), and control can be co-designed to allow robots to efficiently interact with complex fluid dynamics.
