I envision robot swarms becoming such an integral part of our daily lives that we fail to distinguish between inanimate objects and robot swarms, between medicine and robot swarms, between smart materials and robot swarms. This is a grand vision that we can chip away at by tackling hard problems related to design, fabrication, and control in the micron scale and macro scale arenas.
I completed my Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. in Professor Kirstin Petersen's Collective Embodied Intelligence lab at Cornell University and throughout the past two years I have worked as a postdoc at MIT with Daniela Rus and YuFeng Chen. I will be starting up as an assistant professor in the Robotics department at the University of Michigan in January 2025 and am actively looking for several Ph.D. students to join my lab in August 2025. Please contact me if you are interested.
