With 4 years of industry expertise complemented by 3 years in academia, I specialize in the design and optimization of safety-critical autonomous systems. My focus encompasses autonomous vehicles and industrial robot manipulators. I advocate for an all-encompassing system modeling approach, ensuring each module operates both efficiently and reliably through the implementation of safe control algorithms.
Presently, I am deepening my understanding in learning theory, Psychology, and reinforcement learning at the CIIGAR Lab, NC State University.
Some professional highlights:
- As a Research Scientist at Unknot.id, Florida, I focused on AI-driven technologies for mobile device navigation in GPS-denied areas.
- At NHK International Corporation, Michigan, I played a key role in developing factory automation systems using advanced robotics and computer vision for dynamic industrial applications.
- A tenure as a research assistant at the Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Research Lab (CAVREL) at the University of Central Florida.
Beyond academia, I am passionate about undertaking challenging personal projects, nurturing my garden, indulging in chess games, absorbing wisdom from books and blogs, and exploring the world.
