I am currently a Postdoc Researcher at the Graduate Aerospace Laboratories of the California Institute of Technology (GALCIT), working with Prof. Soon-Jo Chung and Prof. Yisong Yue. I am also affiliated with the Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST) at Caltech. I was named a Rising Star in Data Science by the University of Chicago in 2022.
I have completed my Ph.D. in Robotics in 2022 from the Robotics Institute at the University of Michigan (UM), advised by Prof. Ryan Eustice, Prof. Jessy Grizzle and Prof. Maani Ghaffari. I worked as a member of the Perceptual Robotics Laboratory (PeRL), the Computational Autonomy and Robotics Laboratory (CURLY), and the Bipedal Robotics lab at UM.
I am broadly interested in Robotics, Computer Vision and Machine Learning. Specifically, my research focuses on perception and navigation for robot autonomy.
