About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, San Diego, co-advised by Prof. Tania Morimoto and Prof. Michael Tolley. My research focuses on the design and control of wearable soft robotic systems aimed at improving rehabilitation and human assistance. I am also interested in investigating emerging actuation strategies for wearable haptic interfaces. Broadly speaking, my goal is to develop readily accessible wearable technology that enhances human capability and interaction.

This summer, I will join Meta Reality Labs as a Hardware Engineering PhD Intern to investigate critical factors related to skin contact comfort for the next generation of MR/VR products.
