I am a master's student in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University, working in the Biomimetics and Dextrous Manipulation Lab with Prof. Mark Cutkosky. My whisker research has also been guided by Prof. Shuran Song.
My research focuses on bioinspired sensing and compliant robot mechanisms. I design and build sensing hardware, develop fabrication and calibration methods, and run experiments for underwater perception and contact-rich manipulation.
I am interested in how the design of a sensor or mechanism can help a robot perceive and interact with its surroundings.
