I began my academic journey at the University at Buffalo, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering. Following this, I entered UB’s PhD program in mechanical engineering, earning my master’s degree along the way. I am now a fourth-year PhD student, with research focused on human-robot collaboration and differential flatness. During my graduate studies, I have published two research papers.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I’ve gained valuable industry experience through several internships. My first role was as a CAD coordinator at M/E Engineering, followed by a mechanical engineering internship at Cobham Mission Systems. I then joined Bechamo LLC as a flight controls intern, and most recently, I interned at Blue Origin as a guidance, navigation, and controls engineer.
Outside of academics, I’m passionate about tennis and music. These interests led me to join UB Aces Club Tennis and UB Musicians, two communities that enriched my university experience through shared interests and lasting friendships.
