About
With interests cutting across medical robotics, autonomy, and robot perception, I am deeply passionate about incorporating Robotics, Software, and Artificial Intelligence to enhance the human quality of life. Being an active member of the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory (AiRoL) as an undergrad at the University of Lagos, I contributed to stellar projects and co-represented the University of Lagos at the National Artificial Intelligence Summit. This summit fostered many middle school student interest in STEM fields
I am currently enrolled in the Robotics master’s program at the University of Michigan where I am actively learning and contributing to the ongoing prosthetic research.
