About
I am a master's student in Electrical Engineering at North Carolina State University, building a research path at the intersection of robotics, nonlinear control, safety-critical autonomy, and quantum computing.
My current interests include control barrier functions, autonomous navigation, nonlinear dynamical systems, and the potential role of quantum algorithms in simulation and control. I am especially interested in developing rigorous, safe, and intelligent robotic systems that can operate in complex environments.
