CV | Scholar | ResearchGate
I am an assistant professor at Georgia Tech in the College of Computing, within the School of Cybersecurity & Privacy (SCP), and in the College of Engineering, within the School of Aerospace Engineering (AE). I also hold a secondary appointment in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), and I am on the faculty of the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM) and Machine Learning Center.
I direct the Trustworthy Robotics Lab, where we design algorithms that can enable general-purpose robots and autonomous systems to operate capably, safely, and securely with humans, while remaining resilient to real-world failures and uncertainty. To achieve this, we leverage control and machine learning, while connecting to optimization, perception, formal methods, planning, human-robot interaction, and statistics. I believe strongly in validating that the theoretical guarantees of my algorithms translate to the real world when deployed on hardware. I'm interested in a broad range of applications, including robotic manipulation, vision-based navigation, aerospace autonomy, and the control of large-scale cyber-physical systems. Check out this page for an overview of my work.
About me:
I was born and raised in Northern California. After earning dual B.S. degrees in EECS and ME from UC Berkeley in 2017, I left the eternal summer behind to receive an M.S. and Ph.D. in ECE from the University of Michigan in 2019 and 2022, respectively. Prior to joining Georgia Tech in 2024, I spent two years as a postdoc at MIT CSAIL. I am a recipient of the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) fellowship and the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, and was named a Robotics: Science and Systems (R:SS) Pioneer in 2022.
