About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, advised by Russell Sage Professor John Wen. Before joining Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I obtained my M.S.E. degree in 2016 from Johns Hopkins University.

Research

My research aims to bridge the gap between robotics research and applications by leveraging tools from machine learning and control theory.

Experience
