About

CMU robotics PhD/PhD researcher and former CMU Robotics Club project lead who built a novel Bayes-filter-based system to localize within music so robotic instruments can follow a human’s tempo in real time. Also works on simulation-heavy multi-agent vehicle routing with traffic-signal scheduling, optimizing for real-time performance via profiling, multithreading, and neural-network surrogates for signal control.

Key Strengths

  • Led and implemented a robotics club software project end-to-end (project ideation, onboarding, implementation)
  • Applied Bayes filtering to real-time musical tempo-following/localization with multiple sensor/input streams
  • Performance optimization under real-time constraints (matrix math acceleration, resolution/window tradeoffs)
  • Systematic debugging of ROS-based robotics experiments using topic/node inspection
  • Pragmatic experimental problem-solving (used motion capture for ground truth; mitigated camera glare issues)
  • Advanced algorithmic optimization for multi-agent routing simulations (profiling, multithreading, surrogate neural nets, anytime planning)
