Associate at Exponent

I started a new position as an Associate at Exponent. I am part of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science practice in the Phoenix-AZ office!

Research Associate with CONLab

After taking some time off to travel and visit family, I am back to UT Dallas as a Research Associate!

Ph.D. Degree

In Dec 2023 I was awarded the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Dallas.

M.S. Degree

In Spring 2023 I took my last structured course at UTD. After an interesting last semester going to classes, I finally graduated with my M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering!

UTD 3MT

I took on the challenge of trying to summarize my PhD research thesis in a 3 minute presentation for a public audience by participating in the UTD 3MT competition. After passing the preliminary round in late March, I made it to the finals. 

I finished second place at the finals and won the Runner Up award university-wide!

I highly encourage everyone to attempt this challenge.

I am now a PhD candidate

I successfully completed my examination for the PhD proposal and have official become a PhD candidate!
Thanks a lot to my PhD committee members:

• Dr. Tyler Summers (committee chair)

• Dr. Mark Spong

• Dr. Justin Ruths

• Dr. Justin Koeln

• Dr. Abraham P. Vinod.

MERL Features my Internship Projects at their 2022 Open House 

MERL's 2022 Open House featured two projects I worked on during my 2021-2022 internship with them.

• Mixed-Integer Programming for vehicle decision making/motion planning (we solve an MIP to perform motion planning and decision making such as over/undertaking vehicles, stopping at intersections, ...)

• Safe multi-agent motion planning via filtered reinforcement learning (published at ICRA 2022).
