Human-Centered Autonomy
I develop robotic collaborative intelligence to empower and support our human partners. To achieve this collaborative intelligence, I research embodied, safe, and personalized AI techniques.
Embodied AI
How can we teach robots to perform complex tasks with and around humans?
I develop methods to improve the performance of AI agents in challenging long-tail, safety-critical scenarios that arise in human environemts.
Safe AI
How can we certifiably verify the safety of autonomous agents?
My research on formal methods-based safety shields provides certifiable safety guarantees for robots operating in human environemts.
Personalized AI
How can we rapidly adapt autonomous behavior to best support individual users?
I investigate ways to incorporate user preferences in the plan of autonomous agents collaborating with humans.
