I am currently a Ph.D. student in the School of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University. Under the mentorship of Dr. Sivaranjani Seetharaman, my research interests lie at provable guarantees in system identification and controller synthesis, physics informed neural network, efficient and scalable algorithms in robustness certification, and safe learning.
