I study control theory and Hamilton–Jacobi reachability. My work explores learning-based and other computational methods for solving HJ problems.

Research with safety in mind.

I am a PhD student in Computing Science at Simon Fraser University and a member of the Multi-Agent Robotic Systems Lab (MARS Lab). I am interested in control theory and Hamilton–Jacobi reachability, with a focus on learning-based and other computational methods for solving HJ problems.

Beyond research, I love travel, skiing, photography, and looking for wild places - from quiet mountain mornings to starry skies and the northern lights.
