I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Northwestern University
Center for Robotics and Biosystems. I am a member of the
Interactive and Emergent Autonomy Lab, advised by
Prof. Todd Murphey. I also collaborate with
Dr. Peter Trautman at Honda Research Institute (USA).
My research broadly studies physical intelligence (mainly robots and humans) interacting with different forms of uncertainty. I not only study control, planning, and perception under uncertainty (
uncertainty as an obstacle), but I am also interested in how intelligence emerges from interacting with an uncertain environment (
uncertainty as an opportunity). Applications of my research include robot navigation in human crowds, autonomous exploration, object-agnostic perception, and soft robot locomotion.
