I am a third year Ph.D. student at Clemson University researching in the Motion Planning Lab under Dr. Ioannis Karamouzas. I got my B.S. in Computer Science from Clarion University (now WestPenn Clarion) in 2019. My passion for robotics started during an REU experience I had with the CAT Vehicle team at the University of Arizona and has been fueled by the interesting projects in grad school as well as industry internships.
My research interests revolve around motion planning wheeled robots (from Roombas to AVs) and I currently focus on human-robot interaction (HRI). Outside of my research I am very bad at chess, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and climbing, but I am still in love with all three.
