Academic Achievements
- Received an Amazon Research Award for studying 'Safe Navigation Through Crowded Dynamic Environments.' Published papers in journals such as Autonomous Robots, MRS, AURO, and IJRR.
Research Experience
- Postdoctoral Researcher at the GRASP Laboratory, University of Pennsylvania, from July 2015 to June 2016, supervised by Prof. Vijay Kumar and Prof. George Pappas.
Education
- Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics from the University of Pennsylvania in June 2015, under the supervision of Prof. Vijay Kumar; B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern University, where he worked with Prof. Kevin Lynch on several projects related to parameter identification of dynamic systems and non-grasping manipulation (e.g., rolling, sliding, and bouncing).
Background
- Research Interests: Autonomous exploration and information gathering by teams of mobile robots. Professional Field: Mechanical Engineering. Brief Introduction: Aims to develop mathematical tools and systems that explicitly consider and reason about all sources of uncertainty, improving the performance of robotic teams in real-world applications.
