I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Systems Engineering at Cornell University, starting in Fall 2026, and a member of the Information and Decision Science (IDS) Lab. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Andreas Malikopoulos. My research interests include reinforcement learning, multi agent systems, optimal control, and robotics.

Previously, I pursued a Master of Science in Systems Engineering at Cornell University, with the degree expected in May 2026. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Statistics, with a minor in Data Science, from the University of British Columbia.

For more details about my research and experience, please see my CV.
