Biography
I am a Software Engineer at Zoox in the Planning & Controls team. Before Zoox, I was a Robotics PhD student at the Georgia Institute of Technology co-advised by Dr. Magnus Egerstedt and Dr. Zsolt Kira. My research interests lie in developing data-driven control synthesis frameworks geared towards long-duration autonomy.
