Background
- Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Program at New York University Abu Dhabi. My research focuses on advancing robotic manipulation through the integration of control theory, differential geometry, and machine learning. I am especially interested in enhancing robotic systems' performance, adaptability, and safety, exploring how advanced mathematical frameworks and intelligent algorithms can empower robots to interact more effectively with complex environments.
