I am a 3rd Year PhD Candidate at the Univeristy of Michigan, Ann Arbor. My current research is on estimating dynamic mechanic joint impedance using machine learning. I received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. My PhD here at Michigan will be in Mechanical Engineering as well but my M.S. will be in Movement Science.
I am a Bay Area native and I love all things science fiction. Any book or movie recommendations are very welcome.
