Howdy! I am a PhD Student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley. I am a member of the ICON Lab, advised by Dr. Negar Mehr. My research focuses on learning intricate multi-robot behavior for safety-critical environments, with an emphasis on safe reinforcement learning and multiagent coordination. My latest publications are available on Google Scholar. In recognition of my recent work, I was awarded the NSF GRFP in 2024.

Prior to beginning my graduate studies, I earned my B.S. in Computational Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. During my undergraduate degree, I had the privilege of doing research with Dr. Ufuk Topcu and Dr. Moriba Jah.
