I’ll be giving a Young Researcher talk on Thursday at #IROS2026 on “Evaluating Barometric Tactile Sensor Designs in Simulation” at the workshop on “Learning-based Robot Co-design: Generative and Iterative Approaches.”
Come chat about tactile sensing and computational design!
late announcement but I’ve left @1x_tech to pursue a new adventure! robotic end effectors have advanced rapidly, but still lack an instinct about how to interact with the real world. if you are interested in talking robots (or bikes!) reach out to me :D
I left a16z to start Ixian Robotics!
I’m very grateful for the people I got to learn from at a16z, and excited to be building again. The last couple of months have felt like knocking down dominoes I’ve spent years putting up.
Wrote a bit about the last year and what I want to build next: https://t.co/UZkyYG5e64
really good aesthetics, genuinely interesting research, shame the whole writeup is full of theoretical projections, hand-waving on chip counts, omitting stuff like fpga<->z1 energy cost, etc
