I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) as of Fall 2024.
My research group focuses on novel modeling and control approaches to enable autonomy in extreme, rare, and safety-critical scenarios. We are particularly interested in decision-making under uncertainty and limited data, as well as structured and safe learning on the fly with scarce information. One of the goals being to expand the safety envelope of today’s autonomous systems by enabling operation at the limits of what the (physical) systems can achieve. Examples of applications we are exploring include flight control under failure conditions, acrobatic flight maneuvers, agile robotics, or autonomous driving at the limits of vehicle handling capabilities.
