I am a Software Engineer at Zoox. I obtained my PhD in Mechanical Engineering at The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) with a focus on control and reinforcement learning for autonomous systems. I received my B. Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2017.

My research interests include:

• Discovering the best ways to map observed data to decisions that affect processes that change over time

• Balancing performance and robustness in control design for dynamical systems

• Theoretical analysis of reinforcement learning algorithms applied to continuous control problems

• Convex and nonconvex optimization

• Sensor and actuator selection

• Networked multi-agent systems
