About
Welcome to My Portfolio
I am a Ph.D. Research Fellow and Doctoral Candidate in Systems Engineering with a focus on robotics at Boston University. I am working under Dr. Christos Cassandras at the Control and Optimization of Discrete Event Systems (CODES) Laboratory.
I work at the intersection between robotics and operations research. I am particularly interested in the design of robust and safe AI algorithms for robotics systems for process optimization at a large scale. Particularly, I work on path planning of connected autonomous vehicles for traffic minimization. My lab focuses on the design of smart cities. I firmly believe that by solving some of the issues with autonomous driving first, we could start solving greater problems such as mobility and transportation in cluttered cities by taking these issues into account during the design stage.
