My interests lie at the intersection between software systems and the physical world. I want to make progress on problems that haven’t been solved before.

I’m currently a CS PhD student at UC Berkeley working on Robotics, Machine Learning, and Computer Vision, advised by Jitendra Malik and Pieter Abbeel.

Previously, I worked on on robotics and simulation at NVIDIA, studied Engineering Science at the University of Toronto, and visited the Robotic Systems Lab at ETH Zurich. Earlier on I helped found Flatten, was a student on FIRST Robotics team 4774, and interned at the ACFR, amongst other things.

Here’s my CV. My papers are listed here.

I’m Irish-Canadian, and have also lived in Switzerland, Australia, and Czechia.

I track books on Goodreads. If you’re looking for a recommendation, Proust’s In Search of Lost Time is my favourite.
