Research and Personal Interests

I am primarily interested in soft robots and actuators for biomedical applications. My current work is focused on developing a light powered osmotic actuator, building on the previous work done in my group on macromolecular host-guest chemistry.

My non-scholastic interests involve nature walks with my dog, power lifting, cooking, exploring cuisine and rock & fusion music.
