About Me
I am a Ph.D student at Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research and my research focus is robotics/vehicle autonomy and controls.
Specifically, I study combined utilization of model-based and deep learning-based control techniques to improve vehicle behavior under unknowns. I do autonomy algorithm development, deployment and validation on real full scaled vehicles and robotic platforms utilizing ROS/ROS2. Through leadership roles in industry and research oriented projects, I have developed a solid understanding of systems level engineering, integration and architectures needed for real-world deplyoment.
You can view my key projects on the Projects page and all of my research and development experiences, publications, and awards are listed on my CV page.
