I develop algorithms to co-design novel types of rigid and soft robots in form and behavior, and automatically fabricate them. My research touches upon topics in soft matter and differentiable simulation, numerical optimization and machine learning for robot control and design, digital fabrication processes such as 3D printing and textile-manufacturing, and methods for overcoming the sim-to-real gap from rich sensing. I have a B.S. in Engineering Physics and Computer Science ('10) and a M.Eng. in Computer Science ('11) from Cornell University, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT ('21).
