About Me
I am joining Louisiana State University as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Fall 2026, where I am founding the Adaptive Control and Robotics (ARC) Lab. My research integrates control theory, adaptive methods, and deep learning to build autonomous systems with mathematically certifiable stability and safety guarantees.
My work has focused on Lyapunov-based learning and control for uncertain nonlinear systems, including deep neural network adaptation, safe control with barrier methods, and online physics-aware learning. I aim to develop methods that can move reliably from proof to platform, with validation on real robotic systems.

Adaptive Control and Robotics Lab (launching Fall 2026)
ARC Lab works on the frontier between modern AI and nonlinear control: systems that can learn online in uncertain, real-world environments while preserving provable stability and safety through Lyapunov-based certification.
Funded PhD positions are open for Fall 2026. I am especially excited to connect with students interested in adaptive control, safe autonomy, multi-agent systems, physics-aware learning, and learning-enabled robotics.
