Background
Research Interests: Building physical caregiving robots to assist individuals with mobility limitations in performing activities of daily living. Specifically, exploring contact-rich manipulation using contacts across the entire robot embodiment, enabling robots to navigate cluttered environments and perform complex tasks that require safe and adaptive physical interaction with humans.
Miscellany
Personal Interests: Staying active by playing cricket, squash, and pool.
