About Me
I am currently working on combining vision and touch for Reachbot, and after graduation I am interested in entrepreneurial robotics pursuits.
Previously, I worked on Tactile Sensing for a gripper using fiber Bragg gratings, tactile sensing for a gripper with Spines, and capacitive tactile sensing for an Oculus project. I took time off from the Ph.D. to work as an AI software engineer at Letterdrop, a Program Manager at Plus.ai, and a Product Manager at Everyday Robots, an X company. I am maintaining research notes here JuliaDiBlog. My Stanford academic page can be found here http://web.stanford.edu/~juliadi/.
