Welcome to my website!

---

I’m a robotics scientist currently working at NIWC (Naval Information Warfare Center) Pacific, in collaboration with  NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, on autonomous off-road driving.

I did my PhD at Georgia Tech at the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines, advised by Prof. Evangelos Theodorou in the Autonomous Control and Decision Systems Laboratory.  

The latter part of my PhD studies were conducted at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, advised by Dr. Ali-akbar Agha-mohammadi (Ali Agha). 

My research interests lie in enabling learning and adaptation in robotics, especially when it comes to motion planning, and control.  I'm a full stack roboticist, with experience in perception, state estimation, planning, and control.  I am  particularly interested in leveraging deep learning and other machine learning techniques to find safe and robust solutions to cutting-edge real-world robotics problems.
