Master's student in Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. I am interested in robotics and control algorithm development and using them to innovatively solve challenging problems to improve the efficiency and quality of mechanical systems. Currently, I am applying my modeling, simulation and experimental skills to develop a soft robotic manipulator for eldercare. In addition, I am also working on generating trajectories for 3D printing and designing controllers for it to increase the printing speed. I also have a strong interest in product development and am working on a medical assist device to help doctors in the extraction of vitreous humor in clinical environment. I have also co-founded a startup, which provides exoskeleton based solutions to counter labor fatigue for workers in the manufacturing industry. Please reach out to discuss opportunities in the fields of robotics, mechatronics, controls and product design & development.
