I’m a Ph.D. student affiliated with the Aerospace Department, at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. I’m fortunate to have Professor Anouck Girard and Professor Ilya Kolmanovsky as my advisors. My research interests include, but are not limited to, learning, control, and optimization. I’m specifically focusing on theoretical and algorithmic integration of data-driven methods in optimal control to resolve robust and safety concerns that emerged in autonomous agents’ applications.
