Welcome!

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