Currently seeking postdoctoral and research positions in multi-agent robotics, starting 2027.
BIOGRAPHY
I'm a Robotics Ph.D. candidate at Oregon State University, where I contribute to the Intelligent and Reliable Autonomous Systems research group under the mentorship of Sandhya Saisubramanian. I am also an affiliate member of the Collaborative Robotics and Intelligent Systems (CoRIS) Institute at Oregon State University.
My research is on context-dependent coordination in multi-agent systems. The operational context determines how robots must coordinate to complete a task, and is rarely known in advance, so robot teams have to infer it and adapt to it themselves. I develop planning and learning methods and validate them on real robots.
