I joined the University of Waterloo in 2021, where I lead the Control, Learning and Logic (CL2) group. My research interests lie in using elements of Control Theory, Formal Methods, Machine Learning and Optimization to solve problems in Safe Autonomy of Robotic and other Cyber-Physical Systems.

Prior to joining the University of Waterloo, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the EECS Department at UC Berkeley. As a part of the VeHICaL project, I was mentored by Professors Sanjit Seshia (primarily) and Bjoern Hartmann.

I received my PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, where I worked on developing Robust Predictive Methods for Planning and Control of Autonomous Systems as a part of Prof. Rahul Mangharam’s Real-Time and Embedded Systems Lab.
