Introduction
PhD Student studying tensegrity robotic systems at Penn State University. My research focuses on experimental design and shape control of deployable tensegrity structures. A particular emphasis is paid to realizing computationally efficient algorithms for tensegrity workspace generation and nonlinear shape control.

Conference Paper
Owing to their shape morphing capabilities and biomimetic nature, tensegrity structures offer a lightweight, adaptable, alternative to classical truss structures. Tensegrities comprise a collection of axially loaded compressive members (bars or struts) stabilized by a network of tension members (strings or cables), resulting in flexible structures...
Thesis
Full-text available
As we further extend our reach into outer space, there exists an unmet need for autonomous agents to carry out highly dexterous manipulation tasks such as on-orbit servicing and habitat construction. In order to be packaged efficiently for transport and autonomously deployed at a remote destination, these robotic mechanisms must be lightweight, yet...
