Biography

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Oakland University.

My research advances trustworthy robot autonomy by combining learning-based methods with formal guarantees from control theory. I am interested in safety-critical control, reinforcement learning, multi-robot task and motion planning, and generative models for robotics.
