About

I’m a freshman in Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. While originally from Urbana-Champaign, I spent most of my formative years in Silicon Valley and attended Lynbrook High School in San Jose, CA. In high school, I was a National Merit Semifinalist and a winner of MIT’s prestigious THINK research competition! My research project for THINK, which I hope to continue this semester, focuses on using low-cost phased array ultrasonic mapping in disaster relief zones, coupled with SLAM and multivariate regression in order to estimate odometry and reduce noise. This excites me because I’m an avid biker and runner, so anything to protect the areas that I explore is something I’m passionate about.

At UIUC, I’ve had the opportunity to be the minibots lead for our freshman combat robotics team, which has been a great experience overall. I also ended up designing a combat robot of my own along with Maya Cheshire for antweight robotics competitions around the Midwest. You can find out about both of those things under my new Robotics page.

I also like to play my clarinet loudly and frequently. I even played a traffic cone on my clarinet once; you can read about that elsewhere on the site.

Thanks for visiting, and have fun exploring my website!
