My ultimate vision is to enhance the autonomy of machines to reliably assist and benefit human society. My research goal is developing efficient autonomous control policies to function in safety-critical settings with formal guarantees.

I conduct research at the intersection of formal methods and control theory. Through investigating in constructing a unified framework that integrates high-level planning with low-level controls, my research is dedicated to offering universally applicable techniques to improve autonomous agents' stability, safety, and robustness in a variety of applications, including autonomous driving and robotics.
