About

I am a first year computer science PhD student at UIUC working on privacy-preserving methods for multi-robot task and motion planning systems.

I am interested in the intersection of robotics, differential privacy, and computational geometry.

I am advised by Nancy M. Amato and a member of the Parasol Lab.

I completed my undergrad at UIUC in May 2026, with a major in computer science and a minor in math.
