In my current role, I lead the development and implementation of primitive dynamics for a 7-DOF robot arm, ensuring it can efficiently and accurately scoop granular objects from various containers. I'm also simulating this real-world environment using Nvidia's Isaac Gym. This simulation allows us to test and validate the robot arm's dynamics across different objects and container scenarios. Alongside these digital efforts, our team is actively conducting real-world experiments, capturing both image and depth data with an array of RGB-D cameras.

In my role as an Engineering Learning Assistant at the Grainger College of Engineering, I had the privilege of instructing a specialized course tailored for incoming engineering students. This course aimed to nurture their professional growth, leadership qualities, and key workplace skills. Beyond just teaching, I also assisted these students in familiarizing themselves with the college, ensuring they tapped into the various resources available. I'm proud to have been a guide and support for a diverse group of students, helping them adjust and succeed in their new environment.

At Illini Formula Electric, a prominent on-campus organization focused on electric vehicle systems, I took an active role in the software sub-team. Our mission was to innovate and push the boundaries of electric vehicle technology, and I'm proud to have played a part in that journey. At IFE, I worked on a torque vectoring algorithm for our new four-wheel drive system, as well as an IMU-based data acquisition system.
