I am a PhD Candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan–Dearborn graduating in June 2026, specializing in autonomous driving, computer vision, and control systems.
My research focuses on designing vision-based control systems for autonomous and teleoperated vehicles, with an emphasis on robustness under constraints such as perception latency, uncertainty, and system integration.
I have experience across the autonomy stack, including:
• Perception and deep learning models (CNNs, VAEs, diffusion models)
• Control systems for lane keeping and trajectory tracking
• Closed-loop simulation and validation using CARLA and ROS2
• Sensor fusion and calibration (camera–LiDAR)
I am particularly interested in developing robust and reliable autonomous driving systems that integrate machine learning with control and system-level validation.
Feel free to reach out for collaboration or opportunities in autonomous systems and machine learning.

Demium – All Startup Weekend
Sep 2019
I participated in an all-startup weekend in Budapest, in 3 days only, we had to come up with a startup idea and pitch it to real European investors.
Our team won the competition.
