Biography

I am an assistant professor at Georgia Tech in the College of Computing, within the School of Cybersecurity & Privacy (SCP), and in the College of Engineering, within the School of Aerospace Engineering (AE). I direct the Trustworthy Robotics Lab, which designs algorithms to enable general-purpose robots and autonomous systems that operate capably, safely, and securely with humans, while remaining resilient to real-world failures and uncertainty. I am interested in all aspects of robot algorithm design – including the creation of the algorithms themselves, proving their properties, and deploying them on real robots.

I earned dual B.S. degrees in EECS and ME from UC Berkeley in 2017, an M.S. and Ph.D. in ECE from the University of Michigan in 2019 and 2022, respectively, and I was as a postdoc at MIT CSAIL prior to joining Georgia Tech in November 2024. I am a recipient of the NDSEG and NSF Graduate Research fellowships, and I was named a Robotics: Science and Systems Pioneer in 2022.
