My interests lie in the integration of compliant control and machine learning for the design, modeling, and control of soft and continuum mechanical systems, with a particular focus on bio-inspired robotics where rigid-body paradigms are limited. I am especially drawn to embodied intelligence and impedance-shaped interaction, exploring how the natural dynamics of compliant bodies can be harnessed instead of canceled, to achieve dexterous manipulation and adaptive locomotion. My goal is to develop principled frameworks for perception and control that enable robust and versatile behavior in contact-rich environments.
