Performed research on integrating machine learning and motion/path planning in order to efficiently generate safe and low cost trajectories for high degree of freedom robots operating in complex environments. Submitted and presented papers at leading robotics conference and journals such as ICRA, RAL, and IJRR.

TALISMAN (Tendon-Assisted Lightweight In-Space MANipulator) is an experimental tension-actuated robotic arm to be used for in-space assembly. In order to maintain the safe operation of the arm, especially in such a mission critical system, simulators are necessary to evaluate and plan potential actions.I developed models of TALISMAN in Gazebo and ADAMS.

My research was on multi-agent scheduling for planning among multiple robots. We used ROS to interface between iRobots running the algorithms and a Kinect tracking movement. We formulated the Robust Execution Problem for finding maximally robust dispatch strategies in probabilistic temporal planning. Two algorithms for solving the Robust Execution Problem.

• I graded and tutored the following courses:
• CS 151: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
• CS 140: Algorithms
• CS 81: Computation and Logic
• CS 70: Data Structures and Program Development
• CS 60: Principles of Computer Science

I examined binary mixtures using laser light scattering in order to quantify their non-ideality under the guidance of Professor Gerald R. Van Hecke.

I used Javascript and the d3.js library to create visualizations for education data.

I worked as a science and math tutor over the phone for students across the country from grades K-12.

San Diego, CA

Created a flight path visualizer using Matlab to parse flight logs and display the flight path over time using the Google Earth API, including an overlay that displayed flight data including pitch, yaw, sensor readings and pictures taken along the flight. This visualizer provides a more user-friendly way to reconstruct flight paths and trajectories based.

Stanford Nanofabrication Facility

• Investigated the use of aluminum oxide in field assisted passivation for solar cells.
• Fabricated MOSCAPs using atomic layer deposition.
• Improved MATLAB program to characterize the MOSCAP using capacitance-voltage data.

I graded for Chem 23D: Dynamics, an introductory chemistry course at Harvey Mudd College.

Doctor Of Philosophy - Phd, Robotics
