I am a member of the Technical Staff at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, where I work on autonomy, multiagent coordination, and decision making under uncertainty. My work focuses on building algorithms that help humans and autonomous systems collaborate effectively in complex, safety-critical settings.
I received my Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University, where I was a member of the Stanford Intelligent Systems Laboratory (SISL) advised by Mykel Kochenderfer. My research explored how autonomous agents can coordinate and communicate under uncertainty, with an emphasis on human-AI collaboration and decentralized multiagent planning.
My background spans research, engineering, and operational aviation. Before Stanford, I worked on airborne collision avoidance systems at MIT Lincoln Laboratory while completing my M.S. in Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT, contributing to the development of ACAS X. I later served as an F-22 Operational Test and Evaluation Pilot with the United States Air Force and continue to serve as an F-22 pilot with the Nevada Air National Guard.
