Networked Autonomous Intelligent Learning Laboratory

University of Houston

Houston, Texas

I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at the University of Houston, where I work in the Networked Autonomous Intelligent Learning Laboratory (NAIL).

My research focuses on safety-critical control, learning-based control, and robotics. I am particularly interested in developing control methods that allow autonomous systems to operate safely under physical constraints, model uncertainty, dynamic environments, and adversarial conditions.

My current work includes control barrier functions, backup safety controllers, safe reinforcement learning, quadruped locomotion and navigation, and nonlinear estimation and control for robotic systems.

Before joining the University of Houston, I received my bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Parahyangan Catholic University, with a concentration in mechatronics engineering.
