About me

I am a first year Ph.D. student at the University of South Florida advised by Professor Zhao Han. I joined the RARE Lab in August 2023, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Federal University of Technology Akure, Nigeria (FUTA). My research interests lie in robotics, human-robot interaction (HRI), artificial intelligence (AI), and augmented reality (AR).

I am currently working on developing an augmented reality (AR) technology called fog screen, which allows in-the-air projection for robots to communicate with humans in environments that lack projectable surfaces.
