- Education: MS in Robotics, Northeastern University (Grad: Dec 2025)
- Key Skills: Spatial AI, VLM Integration, Safety-Critical Control (CBFs, EKF)
- Fun Fact: Global Winner of Shell Eco-marathon 2021 with Team AVERERA.
- Focuses on multi-robot coordination, VLM integration, and sim-to-real deployment on AgileX Scout robots.
- Pioneered validation of the Automotive Connectivity Hub (C-Hub) using HIL testing and J1939 standards.
- Integrated ADAS predictive cruise control.
- Elevated control performance by 60% using a PID controller.
- Refined localization using EKF in a UWB-RTLS setup.
My work centers on delivering robust, high-performance autonomy solutions:
- Safety-Critical Planning: Engineered a decentralized collision avoidance algorithm for swarm robots using Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) for formal safety guarantees.
- Advanced Perception: Researching amodal 3D reconstruction to reconstruct partially occluded objects, alongside multi-robot coordination using Vision-Language Models (VLMs) like CLIP and Super Glue for zero-shot object-search.
- Languages & Frameworks: C++, Python, ROS2
- Deployment: Sim-to-Real Transfer, Edge Deployment (Jetson Orin)
- Concepts: Multi-View Geometry, Game Theory, ADAS, Vehicle Controls
