Safe learning and control for autonomous systems, with formal constraint-satisfaction and safety guarantees

  • Constrained neural networks and hard constraint satisfaction
  • Safe-by-design neural network controllers and control barrier functions
  • Model predictive control, reachability analysis, and safety-critical autonomy

Ph.D. Candidate

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering at Northeastern University, advised by Prof. Sze Zheng Yong. My research lies at the intersection of control theory and machine learning, with a focus on data-driven control with constraint satisfaction, as well as safe planning and control under uncertainty.

I received my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where I was advised by Prof. Naira Hovakimyan. Prior to that, I earned my B.Eng. in Electronic and Information Engineering from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU).
