PhD student in robotics. Interested in applying control techniques and advanced math concepts to various robotic applications. Also obsessed with cutting edge technologies in general. My current research goal is to develope a robotic immune system to perform autonomous inspection for large confined structures.

Research Interest: Control and Estimation, Swarm System, Reinforcement Learning, Extended Reality
