hi, i'm andrew!
I am an alumni of the University of Pennsylvania, where I earned a Master's of Science degree in Robotics and an Undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics. My graduate studies and the latter half of my undegraduate studies focused on Computer Vision and Deep Learning, especially in the context of Robotics. I also obtained minors in Computer Science and Mathematics while getting my undergraduate degree. In between my undergraduate and graduate programs, I worked at Rivian Automotive as a Software Engineer Intern. I've always had a passion for engineering and research, but right now I'm still figuring out if I want to pursue industry, further academia, or something in between.
