Received an Amazon Research Award for studying 'Safe Navigation Through Crowded Dynamic Environments.' Published papers in journals such as Autonomous Robots, MRS, AURO, and IJRR.
Research Experience
Postdoctoral Researcher at the GRASP Laboratory, University of Pennsylvania, from July 2015 to June 2016, supervised by Prof. Vijay Kumar and Prof. George Pappas.
Education
Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics from the University of Pennsylvania in June 2015, under the supervision of Prof. Vijay Kumar; B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern University, where he worked with Prof. Kevin Lynch on several projects related to parameter identification of dynamic systems and non-grasping manipulation (e.g., rolling, sliding, and bouncing).
Background
Research Interests: Autonomous exploration and information gathering by teams of mobile robots. Professional Field: Mechanical Engineering. Brief Introduction: Aims to develop mathematical tools and systems that explicitly consider and reason about all sources of uncertainty, improving the performance of robotic teams in real-world applications.
