I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Robotics at the University of Toronto Robotics Institute, working with Prof. Jonathan Kelly in the STARS Laboratory. My research explores ideas from differential geometry to advance motion planning and task-level behaviors, making robots move and act more intelligently and efficiently.

Previously, I worked in robotics at Dyson and LionsBot International, where I contributed to many autonomy software stacks and large-scale robotic deployments. I also conducted research at the ROAR Lab, Singapore University of Technology and Design under Prof. Mohan Rajesh Elara, and earlier studied Mechatronics Engineering at Yangon Technological University, where I worked under Prof. Theint Theint Thu. I hold a first-class honours degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Portsmouth.
