About Me
I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The Ohio State University and a Graduate Research Associate in the System Optimization and Autonomous Robotics (SOAR) Lab, advised by Dr. Debdipta Goswami.
I am broadly interested in control theory, operator-theoretic methods for modeling and controlling nonlinear systems, optimal control, and the innovative integration of AI and machine learning into systems and control. A key focus of my work is developing techniques for learning in dynamic systems that operate under noisy and constrained measurement conditions. I am particularly interested in applying these approaches to tackle complex challenges in aerospace systems, robotics, and other autonomous systems.
I cheer on the Ohio State Buckeyes đ. Fall Saturdays or playoff season, Iâm always backing the team. Go Buckeyes đ°!
