About me

I am currently a research engineer at FANUC. Previously I was a Ph.D. student in Prof. Tomizuka's Mechanical Systems Control (MSC) Lab at Department of Mechanical Engineering of UC Berkeley.

My research interests focus on dynamic systems and control with robotics applications.

You can find more in my Resume and Youtube channel.
