About

I am a Senior Motion Planning Engineer with over 6 years of experience in motion planning. I have developed various algorithms throughout the motion planning stack over the past several years at Autel Robotics that have improved the autonomy features of the EVO Max quadrotor drone. These include designing the planner’s core trajectory optimization algorithm, developing a fast motion planner for the user-guided avoidance flight mode, and implementing sensor fusion with radar to detect power lines in the mapping routine.

Throughout my industry and academia experience, my favorite work has involved formulating optimization problems as solutions to a broad range of problems in applications such as UAVs, bio-inspired robotics, and autonomous driving. This has primarily been motion planning (e.g. trajectory optimization) but has included other areas such as kinematic design optimization, parameter estimation, and localization.

I consider myself a specialist in motion planning with a generalist’s set of experiences in robotics and software development. My involvement with different interdisciplinary projects have provided diverse experience in areas such as mapping, sensor fusion, control design, machine learning, embedded systems, kinematics and dynamics, and CAD and PCB design.
