I strive to create novel ideas, solutions and technology to better humanity and our planet, as well as our future in space.

I am currently a PhD Candidate at Johns Hopkins University.

I have research interests in several fields:
  • Optics and Optical Systems
  • Robotics, especially those which operate in exotic environments
  • Space Systems
  • Human/Computer and Human/Robot Interaction
These are the groups I currently work with, or have worked with in the past:
My Publications
  • Stabilizing an S-band antenna for mobile communication from the moon (IEEE Aerospace 2009)
  • ReachIN: A Modular Vision Based Interface for Teleoperation (MICCAI 2010)
  • Sensor and Sampling-based motion planning for minimally invasive robotic exploration of osteolytic lesions (IROS 2011)
  • Toward Practical Semi-Autonomous Teleoperation; Do What I Intend, Not What I Do (ARSO 2011)
  • HAPI Bands: A Haptic Augmented Posture Interface (Haptics Symposium 2012)
Below you will find discussions of my research grouped by institution, starting with the most recent.
