About me
I am an Assistant Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida (UF) and Autonomous and Connected Vehicle Group Lead of the UF Transportation Institute. My research aims to develop autonomous systems with assured performance in contested environments using Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Formal Methods, and Control Theory.

Check my research on Smart Autonomy Lab and publications on Google Scholar.
Teaching
Optimal Estimation and Kalman Filtering (EML 6352 at UF)
My lecture notes are available here.
The course material is primarily drawn from Mathematical Statistics by Casella & Berger (Chapters 1 & 2) and Random Processes for Engineers by Bruce Hajek (Chapter 3). AI tools are used to enhance writing.
In terms of exposition, I strive to follow the pedagogical style of David Tong (https://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/teaching.html). But I am nowhere close yet.
