Academic Achievements
- Published multiple papers, including 'Approximating Global Contact-Implicit MPC via Sampling and Local Complementarity' and 'Vysics: Object Reconstruction Under Occlusion by Fusing Vision and Contact-Rich Physics'.
Research Experience
- Involved in several research projects, such as 'Push Anything: Single- and Multi-Object Pushing from First Sight with Contact-Implicit MPC,' where she served as a primary mentor and one of many individual contributors on the model-building procedure, sampling strategy, incorporation with the previously published sampling-based contact-implicit control strategy, and experimentation.
Education
- PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania's DAIR Lab and Kod*lab, advised by Michael Posa.
Background
- A roboticist, a PhD student in UPenn's DAIR Lab and Kod*lab, a tinkerer, a born-and-raised Pittsburgher, a lover of the outdoors, a dog mom, and a believer that robots can help people. Interested in data-efficient, dynamic robotic manipulation in contact-rich settings. Specifically, works on model predictive control and building dynamics models of novel objects as quickly as possible, aiming to enable robotic manipulation in the wild. Believes in and works towards a future where robots are everyday appliances.
Miscellany
- Born and raised in Pittsburgh; loves the outdoors; is a dog mom; shares this site with her partner, Henry.
