I am an Assistant Professor at University of Washington ECE.
I received my Ph.D. degree in EECS from MIT in 2024, advised by
Professor Wojciech Matusik
and
Professor
Tomas Palacios.
Before joining MIT, I received my B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering at University
of Illinois
Urbana-Champaign, working with
Professor John A. Roger.
My research interests lie at the intersection of digital fabrication,
human-computer/robot interaction, and applied machine learning.
