About
I am a Ph.D. candidate in mechanical engineering at Duke University. I have particular interests in controls, reinforcement learning, nonlinear dynamical systems, mechanical simulation, mathematics, origami, and free software. See the links in the header to navigate to my research or other tags. See my resume for information about my experience and accomplishments.
