About

I develop planning methods for autonomous mobile robotic systems for information gathering and navigation in the real world. Specifically, I have been focused on enabling autonomous information gathering for aerial vehicles in large scale unstructured environments. My research interests lie in information gathering and uncertainty quantification, and safe autonomy.

Currently, I am a post doctoral scholar at the Agile Robotics and Perception Lab working with Professor Giuseppe Loianno at UC Berkeley EECS, and affiliated with BAIR. I was a PhD student at the Autonomous Systems Lab at ETH Zurich with Professor Roland Siegwart.

I am also an active contributor in the opensource PX4 Autopilot project, currently the maintainer of the simulation component of the project.
