I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Prof. Lydia Kavraki, Prof. Vaibhav Unhelkar, and Prof. Vicente Ordonez. My research focuses on enabling robots to coexist and collaborate effectively with humans. I investigate human behavior, particularly in understanding human intent, forecasting motion in team settings, and applying this knowledge to develop closed-loop decision-making systems for robots. My work aims to bridge the gap between human and robot collaboration, making robots more adaptive and responsive in real-world environments. I have published my research in leading venues such as HRI, ICRA, IROS, AAMAS, THRI, and RAL. I serve as reviewer and area chair for top-tier conferences and journals such as HRI, ICRA, IROS, AAMAS, TRO and THRI.
