I’m a final year PhD candidate doing research in multi-agent robotic system in CAST lab advised by Dr. Swaminathan Gopalswamy.

My research interest is about the coordination of robots in motion planning and sensor fusion.

Status

As I’m wrapping up my thesis and preparing finishing my thesis, I’m on the job market currently. My research & career interest includes:

• Algorithms: Markov Decision Process (MDP), reinforcement learning (RL), game theory, Dynamic Pro- gramming (DP)
• Coordination, target tracking/estimation and sensor fusion in the multi-robot systems
• Applications in self-driving, networked robot system, active sensing, agricultural robotics
