I am a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. student at the University of California Berkeley. My work primarily focuses on multi-robot path planning and exploration. In future projects, I hope to extend this to heterogeneous multi-robot systems and address uncertainty and task distribution problems to hopefully establish a fully autonomous search and exploration algorithm capable of mapping unknown regions.
I work in the ICON Lab under the advisement of Dr. Negar Mehr. Previously, I worked in the Intelligent Autonomy Lab at Yale University under Dr. Ian Abraham.
