About Me

I am a student and researcher at the University of Michigan interested in the application of Computer Architecture and Embedded systems to robotics! Ever since I was a child I had been interested in technology. In my High School, I started an Aerospace club which has since grown to one of the largest clubs in High school. Entering College, I realized that my interests aligned more with computational engineering and applications to healthcare.
