About Me

I am a PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania, as part of the Computer and Information Science PhD program. I work under Dr. Nikolai Matni and Dr. George Pappas, with a research focus on control theory, safety in autonomous systems, and learning-based decision making in complex dynamical systems.

Check out my recent research paper currently under review at the International Journal of Robotics Research: Bayesian Inverse Games with High-Dimensional Multi-Modal Observations.
