About me

I am pursuing my PhD degree with the Section of Control & Simulation, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. I work with Prof. Guido de Croon and Dr. Erik-Jan van Kampen, and have started the 4th year of my PhD research.

I have a broad interest in the combination of reinforcement learning and aerospace systems. Currently, I am striving to design intelligent controllers for aerial robotics.
