I am a robotics researcher and PhD candidate at the Robotics and Motion Lab, University of Illinois Chicago. 

My work revolves around multi-agent systems, collaborative robotics, and risk-aware decision-making. I design mission planning strategies for teams of UAVs and UGVs, helping them coordinate efficiently and complete tasks with limited resources. 

While much of this begins with equations and simulations, I have a particular fondness for taking robots out into the open air. There is something reassuring about watching them navigate real roads, real wind, and real uncertainty—far beyond the comfort of the laboratory and simulation.
