Houston, TX 77204-4021
I am a tenure-track assistant professor and the director of the Assured and Intelligent Robotics (AIR) Lab at the Cullen College of Engineering, University of Houston. I completed my postdoctoral training at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, where my advisor was Prof. John M. Dolan. I earned my Ph.D. degree from Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands under the supervision of Prof. Sicco Verwer and Prof. Jan van den Berg. My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, control theory, and formal verification, with the goal of enhancing the reliability of autonomous systems.
