About Me


I am a Ph.D student in Computer Science at the Brown University advised by Prof. Iris Bahar. My research interest is in developing robust and energy efficient robotic algorithm through software and hardware co-design. I'm interested in developing new computing architecture for Bayes inference algorithms, which is one of the most fundamental algorithms for various probilistic robotic applications including navigation, localization and perception.

Previously, I earned my undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering from University of Michigan. While in Michigan, I was into autonomous robotics including SLAM and robot manipulation
