I am a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering at UW-Madison and a member of the Simulation-Based Engineering Laboratory (SBEL), where I am advised by Dan Negrut. My research interests lie in developing physics-based and learning-based simulators for robotics. My current focus is on contact modeling for manipulation of deformable objects.

You can find my CV here, and you can also visit my GitHub profile.
