Background
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Toronto and Vector Institute, working on human-robot collaboration and shared autonomy. My research develops algorithms that enable robots to work safely and intuitively alongside humans.
Research Focus
My work focuses on human motion perception and prediction, humanoid robot teleoperation, and enhancing safety and ergonomics in human-robot collaboration. I develop algorithms that enable robots to anticipate human actions and adapt their behavior accordingly.
