Hi! I am a 2nd year PhD student in computer science at the University of Toronto, where I am grateful to be co-advised by Igor Gilitschenski and Raquel Urtasun.

I research self-driving vehicles at the intersection of computer science, robotics, and artificial intelligence. My work aims to develop testing and evaluation methods for improving safety and performance.
