👋 Hi, I’m Brandon

Robotics Engineering undergraduate at the University of Michigan
Undergraduate research assistant on iGym (AR/XR systems for inclusive play)

I build and study full-stack robotic systems, with a growing research interest in perceptual reasoning and semantic understanding for interactive and human-in-the-loop robotics.


Research Interests

  • AI-driven vision models for robotics, with a focus on real-time perception and scene understanding
  • Perceptual reasoning using deep neural networks and learned representations
  • Semantic and spatial understanding for interaction-aware and adaptive robotic systems
  • End-to-end robotics systems spanning sensing, networking, learning, and rendering

Technical Stack

C C++ Python Java C# MATLAB Bash

ROS 2 OpenCV Unity Linux Git

CAD Onshape


Selected Experience

  • Refactored and multithreaded ROS 2 + OpenCV perception pipelines, reducing latency 12 ms → 5 ms
  • Implemented Kalman filtering + Hungarian matching for stable multi-target tracking
  • Profiled end-to-end latency across camera capture, ROS messaging, networking, and Unity rendering
  • Co-authored and presented a live demo at ACM MobiCom 2025

FIRST Robotics & Mentorship

  • President, FIRST Alumni & Mentors Network at Michigan (FAMNM)
  • Mentor FRC and FTC teams in control systems, Java, and subsystem design
  • Support and lead large-scale robotics competitions and outreach programs
