Experience & Education
A short trail through robotics labs, particle detectors, and everything in between.
💼 Experience
Postdoctoral Associate Current
New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) — Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
June 2026 – Present- Research on continual learning, multimodal perception, and model-free control for robotic systems.
- Building algorithms that let robots keep adapting to new tasks and environments after deployment, without retraining from scratch.
Visiting Researcher
National University of Singapore (NUS) — Singapore · with Prof. Cecilia Laschi
June 2025 – September 2025- Developed dynamic continual learning algorithms for modular soft robot control to enable localized, precise control.
- Tested the controller in real time for trajectory tracking and dynamic reaching tasks, achieving errors below 6 mm in position and 3° in orientation.
Master's Thesis Project
Jefferson Lab — United States · with Dr. Yulia Furletova & Prof. Ankhi Roy
July 2021 – July 2022- Simulated and modeled the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector for the Electron-Ion Collider 2 project.
- Applied AI algorithms to extract sensitive particle signals from a high-noise environment, improving detection accuracy.
Side Project — CalCal
Calorie tracking app · calcal.fit
- Developed a mobile application that estimates calorie content from food images, barcode scans, or manual input.
- Implemented features to log and monitor calories burned through selected physical activities.
- Designed an intuitive dashboard summarizing daily and weekly calorie intake and expenditure.
