I am an aerospace engineering Ph.D. candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I am supported by a NASA Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunity award. I am currently leading development of robotic caretaking capabilities for autonomous robots in space habitats which may be uncrewed for long durations as part of the Representing and Manipulating Deformable Linear Objects (RMDLO) project. I previously earned the M.S. degree in aeronautics and astronautics at Stanford University and the B.S. and B.A. degrees in chemical engineering and music from the University of Missouri, Columbia.
