Bio

I am an upcoming sophomore at Columbia University pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Currently, I’m focused on Robotics and Piezoelectric Research under the wing of skilled colleagues and professors. I am inspired by the pursuit of finding solutions for pedestrian-vehicle safety that are rooted in environmental, humanitarian, and ethical perspectives.
