I am a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. I work in Laura Blumenschein’s RAAD Lab and am currently funded by a Graduate Research Assistanceship. My research focus is soft robotics. Currently I am working on developing a self sensing obstacle interaction vine robot and foldable pneaumatic actuators (FoldPAMs). I am particularly interested in using soft robotics to enhance our current understanding in human rehabilitation and wearable devices.
