I am currently a research engineer in the Robotics Department at the Southwest Research Institute.

Previously, I completed my Ph.D. thesis, Supporting End-Users in Programming Robot Motions, in the Department of Computer Science at the Johns Hopkins University, where I was advised by Dr. Chien-Ming Huang.
