I will be joining the Department of Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology as an Assistant Professor in August 2025.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Burdick group at Caltech and a member of the Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST). At Caltech, I have the privilege of working closely with Professors Joel W. Burdick, Richard M. Murray, and Aaron D. Ames. Currently, I am collaborating with the Ocean World Lander Autonomy team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory - NASA to investigate safe autonomous lander operations on ocean worlds in the Solar System, such as Europa and Enceladus.

I conduct research on robust control systems, state estimation, system identification, and machine learning techniques in robotics to address challenges posed by dynamic uncertainties in feedback control implementations.

News

[May 28, 2025] I am exited to share that I will be joining the Department of Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology as an Assistant Professor starting August 2025.

[May 20, 2025] I presented our paper, “Bayesian Optimal Experimental Design for Robot Kinematic Calibration,” at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2025 in Atlanta, USA. arXiv

My Takeaways and Observations from ICRA 2025:
• Strong presence of walking robots and grippers.
• Planning remains a core focus in robotics.
• Strong interest in robust safety-critical control methods.
• Growing need for robust state estimation methods.
Looking forward to attending with my students next year, stay tuned for updates!
