Engineer
About
I am an aspiring roboticist and system architect specializing in decentralized swarm control and hardware-software co-design. Driven by the philosophy of mathematical elegance translating into physical robustness, my research focuses on developing optimal control and filtering algorithms—such as explicitly mapping time-varying systems into algebraic invariants—and accelerating them directly onto silicon via Verilog and FPGA architectures.
With a solid foundation in mechanical dynamics and chip-level implementation (Cadence Virtuoso/Calibre), my ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between high-level multi-agent synergy and low-level embedded efficiency, enabling ultra-low-latency, resilient autonomous swarms.
