Assistant Professor Address: 1007 Furnas Hall |
I am an assistant professor with the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York
I received Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
for my work on Saving Fuel for Heavy-Duty Vehicles Using Connectivity and Automation.
My advisor is Prof. Gabor Orosz. Before joining UB, I worked at industry developing planning and control algorithm for autonomous trucks.
With experiences in both academia and industry, I study fundamental questions with huge application impact.
Research Interest
My research focuses on designing safe and efficient autonomous systems.
My Lab combines rigorous model based method (e.g. nonlinear control, optimal control, game-theoretic method) with data-driven approach to achieve safe and efficient control for robotics systems.
One major application is to achieve safe and efficient mobility with connected and automated vehicles.
To Perspective Students
I am looking for highly motivated students with strong dynamics and control backgrounds with solid programming experiences.
Two PhD positions are available immediately in the following directions.
Design and certification for trustworthy AI algorithms for autonomous systems
Build seamless human-robot teaming
