I am a Robotics PhD student at Oregon State University researching multiagent learning in Dr. Kagan Tumer’s lab. My current research focuses on designing reward shaping techniques to capture subtle and indirect impacts in multiagent systems. I am more broadly interested in bringing my robotics and artificial intelligence background to improving the coordination of marine robots. This long term focus interests me because of the direct applications to studying and combating climate change in our oceans with teams of underwater, surface, and flying robots. Alongside my technical research, I seek to contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion within robotics.
