March 2025: Awarded a $1,346,542 grant from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory as PI for the project “Strategic Planning in Hierarchical Games: Achieving Rapid Dominance in the Uncertain World of Conflict (Shadow)”
Multiple papers accepted to top venues including IEEE MILCOM 2025, Transactions on Machine Learning Research, AAAI 2025 (AI Alignment Track), and ICCPS 2025
Background
Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida
Research focuses on developing intelligent and (semi-)autonomous systems by integrating control theory, machine learning, and formal methods
Aims to build trustworthy systems for complex decision-making in dynamic environments, operating in coordination with or under human supervision
Key research areas: (1) Preference-aware decision making with human-on-the-loop; (2) Learning-enabled adaptive control and planning with complex temporal objectives; (3) Game-theoretic design of provably correct autonomous systems
Applications include human-autonomy shared control, security and safety for cyber-physical systems, and cybersecurity
