I am an Assistant Professor at MIT in AeroAstro and CSAIL. I work at the intersection of robotics, mathematical human modeling, and deep learning. In my research, I study algorithmic human-robot interaction, with a focus on how robots and humans can efficiently arrive at shared representations of their tasks for more seamless and reliable interaction. I ground my work in experiments with robotic systems like assistive robot arms and in user studies with real human participants.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley with Anca Dragan. Previously, I was also a Research Scientist at the AI Institute and worked at NVIDIA in the Robotics Lab. I received a B.S. in Computer Science at MIT.

I am recruiting PhD students!
