About

Robotics engineer/researcher from Stanford’s Assistive Robotics and Manipulation Lab who built a custom tactile-sensing gripper system and ROS 2 data pipeline to classify the number of thin material layers grasped using a transformer-based model. Has internship experience at Motiv Space Systems building ROS 2 hardware abstractions for BLDC motor dynamics simulation, plus hands-on SLAM and manipulation work in Gazebo/MoveIt-based projects.

Key Strengths

  • End-to-end robotics R&D across hardware, sensing, and ML (custom gripper + tactile transformer model)
  • Built ROS 2 data-collection pipeline logging tactile video and joint states to rosbags
  • Applied real-time force feedback control to improve grasp consistency across material layers
  • Converted tactile RGB gel-surface video into model inputs via dense optical flow
  • ROS 2 simulation experience including BLDC motor dynamics abstraction and Gazebo-based robot sims
  • Practical SLAM debugging using RViz to diagnose turn-induced drift and mitigate via motion tuning
