Hi! I'm a graduate student researcher in the Stanford Intelligent Systems Lab. My research focus is decision making under uncertainty for autonomous systems. I develop algorithms for safe and efficient online planning and seek to validate these methods in simulation.
Applications of my work include human behavior-aware merging and freeway driving. I'm interested in developing probabilistically safe guardian autonomy solutions for the autonomous driving domain and beyond. My long-term goal is applying my work on risk-aware planning to improve aircraft go-around safety.
When I'm not running automotive simulations or chasing down Julia bugs, I love to snowboard and play sand volleyball. I've been captivated by anything that flies since I was very young and am easily distracted whenever a jet flies overhead! My interests also include board games, alternative rock, and partially observable Markov decision processes.
