about

Hello, and thank you for stopping by my website! I am a Mechanically Engineering PhD Candidate at Stanford University in the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab (SAIL). My research interests are related to robotic grasping, namely from a hardware perspective. Lately, my research has focused on where and how to imbue necessary variability into underactuated gripper designs. In other words, how can we make the physical properties of a robotic hand change in real-time to optimally grasp and manipulate the widest range of objects.
