Background
  • Currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Continuum Robotics Laboratory at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Prof. Jessica Burgner-Kahrs.
  • Aims to accelerate real-world deployment of complex robotic systems by developing scalable and robust control methodologies.
  • Research focuses on scalability challenges in swarm robotics and soft robotics.
  • In swarm robotics, bridges bottom-up and top-down design paradigms to understand and control emergent behaviors in large multi-robot systems.
  • In soft robotics, builds a theoretical foundation using continuum mechanics, differential geometry, and PDE-based control theory to address challenges from highly deformable structures.
