Hi!

I am a roboticist with a PhD from the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Kavraki Lab at Rice University. I work with Professor Lydia Kavraki on combining symbolic and geometric planning. Specifically, I’m interested in improving the efficiency, robustness, and utility of robot task and motion planning (TMP), with a particular focus on making TMP under uncertainty practically useful.

Though I primarily research robot planning, I’m also interested in ML and formal methods for robotics, robotics research broadly, and programming languages.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, hiking, biking, playing/composing music, and writing open-source software (often in the form of plugins for Neovim).

You can contact me through the information listed on my website.

feat(compile): use nvim_create_user_command to make lazy-load commands

This is a slight performance improvement over the old style of command creation, and moves packer toward the modern Neovim APIs Not immediately mer…
