I am a PhD candidate in the Action Lab at Northeastern University, working under the guidance of Dr. Dagmar Sternad. My research lies at the intersection of robotics and human motor control, focusing on developing human-inspired algorithms for robot motion planning and manipulation of complex, underactuated objects.

I aim to design controllers that enable robots to manipulate objects with human-like dexterity. My work has applications in physical human-robot interaction and in creating algorithms for robots to handle flexible objects, such as bullwhips. A core theme of my research is understanding how humans adapt their manipulation strategies based on an object’s affordances and dynamics, with the goal of inspiring more intuitive and effective robotic systems.
