Robotics engineer focused on building autonomous robots for complex, unstructured environments
Research interests include motion planning, model predictive control (MPC), and time-optimal trajectory generation
Works with multi-modal robots such as snake robots that switch between crawling and tumbling, and aerial vehicles equipped with wheels or legs
Emphasizes a holistic approach balancing control design with mechanical constraints, sensor feedback, onboard computation, and system architecture
Hands-on experience in robotics perception, including visual-inertial and LiDAR-based SLAM, state estimation, object detection and segmentation, and Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs)
