I am a PhD student at the University of Colorado Boulder studying under Dr. Bradley Hayes from the Collaborative Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory and Dr. Christoffer Heckman from the Autonomous Robotics and Perception Group! I am building expertise in the field of autonomous vehicles (AVs) with an emphasis on robust AI/ML systems that are explainable and safe.

I started graduate school as a Master’s student, initially focused on RF engineering and signal integrity. Just one course in robotics and I was hooked! From that point on, I changed my curriculum to support my new goal of becoming a roboticist. I was lucky to meet Dr. Hayes and Dr. Heckman just a few months before the PhD deadline, and I’m thrilled to be co-advised by them!

Primary Research Interests

• Sensor fusion with diffusion models (and other generative methods) for AVs
• Behavior prediction of autonomous agents in collaborative, multi-agent systems
