I am a roboticist working to expand how agents can become genuine teammates to support people in human-centered environments.

Currently, I am a Research Scientist at Apple.

I completed my PhD in Robotics from Georgia Tech, where I explored how agents can infer user beliefs, predict teammate performance, and support collaboration fluency to enable novel human-AI teaming capabilities. I was advised by Karen Feigh, and also worked with Sonia Chernova and Harish Ravichandar.

During my studies I had the pleasure of interning with:

 - Travelers, researching factual verification of LLM responses to large, unstructured, and inconsistent knowledge bases.

 - Gatik AI, improving the behavior prediction module of their autonomous vehicle, tailored to their operational domain.

 - NextGen Assistive Technologies, developing a smart home ecosystem for assisted living communities.

I also had various research collaborations spanning robot learning from demonstration, generative in-painting, operationalized human-AI teaming, and human-in-the-loop agentic systems.

Prior to graduate school, I studied mechanical engineering at the University of California at Riverside. I was most involved with RoboSub, Residential Life, and IEEE@UCR.

I spend my free time working on side projects and playing piano.
