About

I am a Ph.D. student in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UC San Diego, advised by Prof. Sylvia Herbert in the Safe Autonomous Systems Lab.

I am interested in developing control and learning methods that combine mathematical rigor with broad applicability to robotic systems, drawing on optimal control and reinforcement learning. My research has focused on the connections between Hamilton–Jacobi reachability and control barrier functions, and on ensuring safety and stabilization for nonlinear systems under uncertainty.

My recent work develops diffusion and flow policies for safe reinforcement learning.

I’m seeking research internship opportunities for Summer 2027 in the U.S. Please feel free to get in touch.

In 2022, I received a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Physics from William & Mary, where I conducted undergraduate research in theoretical physics.

Outside research, I enjoy playing soccer, skiing, reading, and video games.
