• Current CV

I am currently an assistant professor at Johnson and Wales University where I teach classes in mechanics, robotics, and electronics. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 2016 with my Ph.D. My main research interests include the areas of robotics, artificial intelligence, perception, and mechatronics; More specifically, how can a robot use perception to perform tasks in unstructured environments. I received my Master’s degree in 2012 and my Bachelors in 2011 in Mechanical Engineering both from the University of Rhode Island.
