research statement

From assisting with daily living tasks to navigating crowded public spaces, many of the most compelling applications of robotics emerge when robots engage with other autonomous agents rather than operate in isolation. The goal of my research is to enable robots that interact intelligently with humans.
This includes designing interfaces that facilitate safe, intuitive human interaction and developing learning algorithms that produce behaviors aligned with human intentions.
I'm particularly interested in designing learning and interaction methods that are data-efficient, given the difficulty of collecting quality robotics training data, particularly in a rehabilitative context.
I'm also generally interested in multi-agent systems, AI fairness, and sustainability in computing.

Here are a bunch of things that I think are cool:

• Radio Garden
• The Perfect Hummus
• Why Momentum Really Works
• Markov Chains
• Robotic Sea Bass
• Visualizing Neural Networks with the Grand Tour
• Bayesian Inference Visualization
• Submarine Cable Map
• Molecular Point Group Visualizer
• Spurious Correlations
• Music for Programming
• Good Song Club
• Places To Read
• Bosch Project
• Internet Artifacts
