Research Scientist @ Realhand Inc.
About
Currently pursuing a PhD in Computer and Information Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology, I specialize in robotics, XR integration, and tactile sensing. Most recently, I contributed as a Research Scientist at TikTok, where I played a key role in developing the XRobotoolkit 2.0, focusing on tactile sensing and dexterous hand manipulation teleoperation. Previous roles include contributing to tactile sensor software development at TouchTronix Robotics and developing robot teleoperation systems and human-robot collaboration models as a Research Assistant at RIT. I am passionate about advancing robotics technology through innovative solutions, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and contributing to the future of human-robot interaction. My academic and professional experiences equip me to bring a research-driven and collaborative approach to solving complex robotics challenges.
