Hello, I’m Mike.

I am a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at UW-Madison. Currently, I am working on Effective Human-Robot Teaming to Advance Aviation Manufacturing as part of the NASA University Leadership Initiative (ULI). My main research interests lie in controls and robotics. Previously, I was a manager at Epic Systems working on patient portals. I received my BS in Mechanical Engineering from Tufts University in 2014 and my MS in Mechanical Engineering from UW-Madison in 2019.

What do I work on?

I look for ways to make it easier for robots and humans to work together to complete complicated tasks. Currently, I study how to fuse together robot behaviors and real-time user corrections to address tasks that have a high-level of variability. My research falls at the intersection of Learning from Demonstration (LfD), Physical Human-Robot Interaction (PHRI), and Shared Autonomy.
More detail can be found at Wisconsin Robotics.
