I’m a second-year PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Melkior Ornik at the LEADCAT group.

I am broadly interested in problems in control, learning and optimization. I am currently focused on optimal control and reachability for systems whose dynamics are affected by adversaries. In relation to this, I am working on guaranteeing resilience, safety, and optimality for nonlinear systems in adversarial environments.

I received my MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor where I worked with Prof. Peter Seiler on analyzing the effect of varying step sizes on the convergence and noise amplification of gradient descent.
