Hi! I’m a third-year PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Huy Tran. I’m excited about multi-agent coordination and planning for the teams of agents/robots. My work seeks to address the coordination issue in multi-agent reinforcement learning using tools such as game theory, mechanism design, and credit assignment. I employ these tools to enable robots to learn either in real time or through pre-trained policies.

In summer and fall of 2025, I was a research intern at InstaDeep, where I applied reinforcement learning to weak-to-strong alignment in LLMs.

Before joining UIUC, I completed my M.Sc. in Computer Science at UMass Lowell, where I worked at the PeARL Lab and the NERVE Center, advised by Prof. Reza Azadeh, on multi-agent deep reinforcement learning, optimization and planning, machine learning modeling and sensor fusion, and robot design.

At UML I also joined the University Choir group and had the chance to perform with Cambridge Symphony Orchestra and Nashoba Valley Chorale at MIT Kresge Auditorium. Outside research, I enjoy singing, hiking, fitness, cooking, and ice cream.
