I'm a Ph.D. student working on vision and autonomy in the
Prorok Lab at The University of Cambridge, in collaboration
with the Toshiba Cambridge Research Lab. I completed my
master's in aerospace engineering in the Space and
Terrestrial Robotic Exploration lab at the University of
Arizona. I previously worked on large, distributed software
systems at Facebook where I focused on fault tolerance,
reliability, and performance. My current research focus is on
partially observable reinforcement learning. In other words,
I'm interested in using long-term memory to produce more capable
robots that reason better under uncertainty.

The spinning projectile extreme environment robot. A
precessing, spin-stabilized exhaust nozzle serves two
purposes: to keep the nozzle oriented without any onboard
actuators (e.g. reaction wheels), and to modulate the net
impulse of solid-fuel rocket motors.
