About

I am a PhD candidate at Michigan State University focuses on fortifying Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) against adversarial threats. Under the guidance of Dr. Shaunak D. Bopardikar, I employ various approaches, integrating game theory, control theory, and machine learning. This allows me to characterize various adversarial models, including deterministic, stochastic, and takeover adversaries. The developed defense strategies demonstrate remarkable efficacy in real-world scenarios, as validated through extensive experiments involving ground robots and high-fidelity simulations.

I am particularly interested in exploring opportunities that allow me to further integrate game theory, control theory, and data-driven methods to revolutionize decision-making in complex systems.
