Hello, I’m Blake! 😊

I am currently a graduate student at MIT AeroAstro where I develop, build, and research intelligent, autonomous, robotic systems and how we can make them worthy of our trust. 🧠🤝🤖

Beyond research, I’m driven by a deep curiosity about our world and universe. 🤔

I’m pro-humanity and support ideas that advance humanity’s collective well-being. ❤️

I also love longboarding 🛹, surfing 🏄‍♂️, wakeboarding 🤙, snowboarding 🏂, skiing ⛷️, ultimate frisbee 💿, and running 🏃‍♂️

Statement of Values

I am committed to:

Conducting honest research that addresses real-world challenges.
Practicing open science and ethical inquiry.
Promoting critical thinking and constructive dialogue across disciplines and ideologies.

"I aspire to see, preserve, and stand by the truth." Blake Edwards
