About Me
I am a Post-Doctoral Fellow working jointly in the Haptics Exploration and LIMBS labs. My main project is steerable needles. Specifically, I am analyzing the torsion that develops in the steerable needle as it is twisted back and forth to control the angle of insertion. I have also combined a planar controller by Vinutha Kallem with a path planner by Ron Alterovitz. Here are a few videos showing needle steering in action
I graduated from Northwestern University in June, '07 where I worked in LIMS. I focused on Human-Robot-Human interaction, which is an area that can be applied to a wide range of tasks from teleoperation to physical therapy. Briefly put, I studied how two people physically interact with each other through an object. An example of this would be exchanging a glass of water or moving a bed together. I applied the interaction found in two people to a robot working with a person.
Born and raised in Los Alamos, NM, I received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UTK) in 2001. I spent four summers during college working at Los Alamos National Laboratory. In the summers of 1998 and 1999 I developed simulation code using Java to model the effects of explosions on underground structures. During the summers of 2000 and 2001, I developed and analyzed finite element models of an explosion containment vessel. During my Junior and Senior years of college, I was an undergraduate teaching assistant in the Freshman Engineering Program at UTK. I defended my Ph.D. Dissertation in May, 2007.
