About

I am a PhD candidate in the Control Systems group at TU Eindhoven, focusing on trustworthy decision-making and motion control. My research integrates temporal logic planning with safety-critical control to manage uncertainty and resolve deadlock in multi-agent interactions. I work at the intersection of control theory, game theory, formal methods, and reinforcement learning, with applications in autonomous driving and aerospace systems.
