After earning my Ph.D. from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University in 2014, I have been working to develop engineering solutions for autonomous systems across academia and industry research settings. My research focuses on multi-agent cyber-physical systems and their algorithms, allowing them to make intelligent decisions in active and uncertain environments. more
