Hi, I'm Ayah! I'm a Robotics PhD student at Georgia Tech, advised by Professor Maegan Tucker in the Dynamic Mobility Lab. My research interests broadly lie in the realm of biomechanics and exoskeleton control. I received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 2023. There, I worked on robotics, predominantly focused on grasping, under Professor Ken Goldberg. Previously, I worked with Professors Christopher Graziul and Margaret Beale Spencer at the University of Chicago, on computational social science and speech emotion recognition.
