ABOUT ME

PROFESSIONAL GOAL

As a mechanical engineering student at MIT concentrating in robotics, I’m passionate about building systems that improve how we live and work. I believe robotics has the potential to transform industries by automating repetitive, dangerous, or physically demanding tasks. This shift allows people to focus on creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. Whether in manufacturing, healthcare, or disaster response, intelligent robotic systems can increase efficiency, safety, and quality of life. Through my coursework and hands-on projects, I’m developing the skills to contribute to this transformation with thoughtful, practical, and forward-thinking design.

I’m equally inspired by the future of robotics beyond Earth. Space exploration poses extreme challenges that make robotics essential. From building infrastructure on the Moon to performing scientific research on Mars, robotic systems will play a key role in enabling exploration. I’m particularly interested in developing autonomous systems that can navigate and operate in remote, unpredictable environments. For me, space robotics represents the perfect blend of engineering, curiosity, and purpose. It is a way to extend human potential and redefine what’s possible in our solar system. I’m excited to grow in this field and contribute to a future where robotics helps push the boundaries of exploration.
