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 🏈 with the same relentless enthusiasm fueling my research. Whether it's Saturdays in the fall or playoff seasons in winter/early spring, I’m out there, on or off the field, fully supporting our team. My Buckeye spirit reminds me that success comes from precision, passion, and bold innovation. Go Buckeyes 🌰!!
