Bio


I am a research engineer at Stanford Intelligent Systems Lab (SISL) and Mineral-X. I received my Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon in 2023 and a master's degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. My work mostly focuses on the development of trustworthy AI for safety and sustainability domains. Applications include safety validation of cyber-physical systems, decision making under uncertainty for safe subsurface resource planning and operations, and supply chain designs for energy transition commodities.
