About

I’m an MSR student at Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute, advised by Dr. Wennie Tabib at the RISLab. Upon graduating in July 2027, I’ll be returning to Allen Control Systems as a Guidance, Navigation, & Control Engineer in Austin, TX.

My research interests lie at the intersection of classical control and learning, with a focus on aggressive and agile aerial robotics.

I graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with dual degrees in Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Physics (minor in Applied Mathematics), receiving the Engineering Physics Outstanding Scholar Award. I’ve held research and engineering internship roles at Allen Control Systems, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, ERAU’s Engineering Physics Propulsion Lab, and Textron Systems.
