Current
Research
I am currently a Graduate Student Research Assistant in the
Ground Robotics Reliability Center at the College of Engineering
at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
My research interests include human-robot interaction, robot
user interfaces, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), UGV
reliability, UGV teleoperation, augmented reality systems,
mobile robot simulation, and control of robot swarms.
I am advised by Prof.
Dawn Tilbury in the Mechanical Engineering Department.
Previous
Research
My Master's Thesis was on the development of an optical system
for the determination of flame retardant effectiveness,
supervised by Prof.
Volker Sick in the Mechanical Engineering Department at
the University of Michigan.
I have also worked with Prof.
A. John Hart (Mechanical Engineering Department) and Prof.
Nicholas
A. Kotov on the development and production of a
desktop-scale machine enabling rapid and automated synthesis of
nanostructured thin films via spin-assisted layer-by-layer
assembly.
