I am a final-year PhD student at MIT advised by Professor Li-Shiuan Peh. I received my Bachelor of Science from Harvard in 2010.

My interests include robotics, mobile systems, intelligent transportation, and the Internet of Things. I have built fully-integrated end-to-end hardware and software systems with real-world prototype deployments in cities.

My dissertation research develops advances in mobile imaging, sensing, computing, networking, and programming, in order to realize rapid adoption of future urban mobility, connected vehicles, and smart cities. I have also worked on physical computing user interfaces and urban design, through my minor in Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT Media Lab.
