I am passionate about machine learning and robotics, and have worked on projects ranging from self-driving vehicles to methods for dark matter identification. As a member of the Masason Foundation I plan to explore new applications of these technologies, which hold great potential to make people safer and more productive in many industries. I’m on a gap year from Stanford working at a robotics startup called HYPR.ai, on end-to-end learning for sidewalk robots. I’m incredibly excited to take recent advances in AI and apply them to physical systems in the real world.
