About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Aerospace Engineering
at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Bruce A. Conway.
My research focuses on optimal control and Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equations, with connections to dynamical systems and reinforcement learning. My doctoral work addresses dimensionality in minimum-time Bellman equations, with a central focus on PDE homogenization.
In parallel, my computational research spans deep learning methods informed by viscosity-solution theory and adaptive numerical methods for making high-dimensional control problems more tractable.
More broadly, I am interested in connecting the mathematical analysis of first- and second-order control PDEs with computational methods.
A fan of contemporary classical and classical crossover music, in my free time, I compose music for the piano.
Other activities I enjoy include hiking, camping, and astrophotography.
