I work as a research assistant in the Georgia Tech Robotics Lab under Charlie Kemp. In the lab, I apply machine learning to assistive household robotics. I've led projects, designed and trained models, implemented interpretability tools, collected and curated large datasets, and designed data capture hardware and protocol. Additionally, I led a lab reading group covering transformers, reinforcement learning, and robotics papers. I have 2 research papers in top robotics conferences: IROS (Accepted) and ICRA (Accepted).

Programmed AGV to store and deliver 500 spools to 4 lines with robust error handlingTrained 30+ workers to interact with my custom user interface and the robotManager of robotics line, added a buffer to the line which alleviated a large bottle neck
