Hi! I am Ph.D. in Software Engineering student at Carnegie Mellon University advised by Dr. Eunsuk Kang and Dr. Sebastian Scherer. I am also a part time researcher with Scaled Foundations. Additionally, I work with the Robotics Institute (CMU), the AI for Systems Group (Microsoft Research New York City) and Intelligent Connected Systems Group (Toyota Infotech Labs).
I am deeply passionate about the intersection of Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence, particularly in leveraging software engineering methodologies to guarantee the safety and reliability of AI systems. My ongoing research involves:
- Enhancing the robustness of reinforcement learning agents [1] [2]
- Designing safe controllers for autonomous systems while adhering to formal high-level system specifications [3] [4]
- Constraining Behavior of Robotics Foundation Models [5]
I am currently a part of AirLab and SoDA. Prior to joining CMU, I worked with Dr. Jyotirmoy Deshmukh’s CPS VIDA lab at University of Southern California. I have also researched with Dr. Thao Dang at the Université Grenoble Alpes and Dr. David Marshall at the Cardiff University.
