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:

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.
