Autonomous Robotics and System Lab

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I lead the Autonomous Robotics and System Lab (AURAS), where our research sits at the intersection of robotics, autonomous systems, control theory, and embodied AI, with a focus on surgical, biomedical, and healthcare applications.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Advanced Robotics and Controls Lab at UC San Diego with Dr. Michael Yip. I also conducted research at the BioRobotics Institute and the Center for Bioinspired Soft Robotics in Italy. I completed my PhD at INSA Lyon with Dr. Arnaud Lelevé.
