I joined TEKEVER at 16 and have been building real-time unmanned aerial systems there ever since. Currently, I'm a visiting researcher at the AirLab at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute, working on 4D and world models.
My interests focus on distributed embodied intelligence: drones, humanoids, and multi-agent systems that perceive, decide, and coordinate in real-time within unstructured environments. This pulls me toward learning-based methods for mission-critical robotics and the safety frameworks required to deploy them reliably — trustworthy ML, uncertainty estimation, and risk-aware AI.
Along the way, I've been fortunate to learn from Sebastian Scherer, João Paulo Costeira, and Kwang In Kim, and build alongside an exceptional team at TEKEVER.
