I am a software engineer at Waymo, working on autonomous driving perception and mapping. Previously, I was a postdoctoral scholar in the Platform Lab at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Sachin Katti. My research focuses on networked systems problems at the intersection of machine learning, cyber-physical systems, edge computing, mobile sensing, and networking. I received my Ph.D. from Networked Systems Lab at University of Southern California, advised by Prof. Ramesh Govindan. During my Ph.D., I was also privileged with close collaboration with Prof. Konstantinos Psounis, and Prof. Marco Gruteser. My dissertation, titled “Networked Cooperative Perception: Towards Robust and Efficient Autonomous Driving”, presents systems and algorithms that enable cooperative perception among networked vehicles and infrastructure sensors that can substantially augment perception and driving capabilities.
