About me

I am a Ph.D. student at the University of California Santa Cruz who aspires to one day become a top expert in robotics and feedback control. My goal as a professional is to contribute to the advancement of robot navigation towards a robust autonomous navigation in real world environments. My forever passion for science and technology has been an ongoing cause that has led my academic and professional trajectory towards enginering and research. By pursuing my passion for solving engineering problems I hope to expand my horizons and gain more insight into a world of limitless possibilities and constant change.
