Robotics @ Northeastern University

I'm a Master's student advised by Prof. Nivii Kalavakonda at Northeastern University in Seattle. My research focuses on embodied robotics, with an emphasis on navigation and perception.

My mission is to build embodied systems that can be helpful companions to humans in their daily lives.
