About Me

I am currently a PhD student in Computer Science at Brown University, where I am advised by George Konidaris.

My research focuses on how robots can understand and represent the world in ways that allow for logical reasoning and planning.

I also have a deep interest in the portrayal of robots in media, and the history of how fiction narratives shape the ways that modern robots are perceived. I have worked on a number of dance performances with visiting artists at Brown.

Outside of my work, I am an avid reader. I love to play board games and video games, and I enjoy going hiking and rock climbing.
