I am a highly experienced Robot Designer with a strong skill set of prototyping, designing and developing interactive systems. I obtained my Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at Cornell University. My research focuses on redefining the relationship between humans and robots in everyday environments. The core of my work is a novel character-driven approach, envisioning robots not just as mindless machines but as independent agents with unique purposes. By weaving narratives around their perceived characters, I aim to establish emotional connections, paving the way for meaningful, long-term interactions between humans and robots.

With a robust skill set in prototyping, design, and interactive system development, I bring theoretical concepts to life. My hands-on experience complements my academic prowess, making me adept at translating ideas from the drawing board to functional, engaging robotic systems.
