I’m currently a PhD Candidate at Duke University, where I’m an NSF Fellow in the Traineeship for the Advancement of Surgical Technologies, and a Duke Rhodes Information Initiative Fellow for Interdisciplinary Research.

Previously, I was a Program Manager and Research Engineer at STR, a technology research and development company that builds advanced solutions for U.S. defense, intelligence, and national security agencies, where I developed autonomous agents for command and control systems.
