I'm a Mechanical Engineering student with a deep curiosity about how machine learning can be applied beyond traditional engineering—especially in understanding human behavior and supporting real-world challenges in health. This summer, I’m exploring how analyzing language through machine learning can reveal patterns in how people communicate, and whether these patterns can offer insights into complex conditions like dementia.

I’m particularly interested in how data—especially unstructured text—can be used to uncover meaningful trends, inform care, and ultimately help bridge the gap between human experiences and technical understanding. Working at the intersection of engineering and AI has opened up new ways of thinking for me, and I’m excited to keep learning how intelligent systems can be applied in human-centered contexts.

Alongside this, I continue to be passionate about robotics and autonomous systems, and I’m eager to explore how combining physical design with machine intelligence can lead to impactful, adaptive technologies.
