I am a dedicated researcher and educator with a bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering and a master’s degree in Robotics Engineering, completed in 2023 as a recipient of the Fulbright Program scholarship. My areas of expertise include nonlinear control, modeling, and legged robotics, with a specific focus on push recovery control. I contributed to the development of the bipedal robot HURON by employing sliding mode control to regulate momentum and achieve stability under disturbances. My current research encompasses three main areas: applying reinforcement learning to develop robust locomotion strategies for quadruped robots on uneven terrains, designing and manufacturing a novel soft electromagnetic actuator, and developing a robot-assisted technique to enhance lumbar puncture procedures. As a faculty member in the Mechatronics Engineering Department, I teach courses in robotics, modeling, and mechatronics system design.
