I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. I received my PhD from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech in 2018, and completed postdoctoral studies in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara, from 2018 to 2022. In 2024, I was a recipient of an NSF Engineering Research Initiation award, and in 2026, I was a recipient of an NSF CAREER award.
I am always looking for highly motivated students to work in the areas of game theory, multi-agent systems, control, and security. If you are interested in working with me, please send me an email with your CV and a brief description of your academic background and research interests.
Research Interests: game theory, multi-agent systems, control theory.
