Hi

	I am currently a PhD student at RPI studying robotics. My interests include robotic mapping, human-robot interaction, stochastic control, and computer vision.

Projects

	This project studies the problem of designing robot controllers which minimize human stress
Human-Robot Interaction
	This project investigates topological mapping of a polygonal environment by a mobile robot using a specific sensing model and a simple sensor feedback motions.
Mapping w/ gap sensing
	I spent the summer of 2005 working in the Engineering and systems division at SRI international. I worked on this project in the Telepresence Lab.
Traumapod
	I worked on this project as an undergraduate, along with many other UofR students.
