I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Stanford University Aeronautics and Astronautics Department Multi-Robot Systems Laboratory.  My research lies at the intersection of  control theory,  optimization and machine learning . My focus is to enable efficient and safe decision making and planning algorithms, control strategies and estimation and fault diagnostic techniques for single and multiple autonomous agents in complex environments
