About Me:

Hi, I’m Joe! I’m a second-year Ph.D. student passionate about using robotics to improve everyday life.

My research focuses on 3D computer vision, neural rendering, and safe planning with abstractions.

I’m part of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Temple University where I work in the Temple Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (TRAIL) under the guidance of Dr. Philip Dames.
