About me
I am currently a Research Engineer II at the Georgia Institute of Technology, in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. My supervisor is Dr. Justin Romberg.
I received my Ph.D. in December 2023 from the University of California, Berkeley, in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. I was advised by Dr. Shankar Sastry in the Berkeley AI Research Lab. Please call me Frank.
In my research, I design algorithms to characterize, predict, and influence multi-agent human-machine and machine-machine interactions. I focus in particular on studying the following facets of decision-making in the context of modern and next-generation transportation systems:
Game-theoretic motion prediction and planning, to enable autonomous systems to model interactions with surrounding agents, and plan safe and efficient trajectories in real-time;
Equitable and effective congestion control, to reduce traffic congestion without increasing the commute times or costs of low-income travelers.
My work applies mathematical tools in game theory, mechanism design, control theory, and dynamical systems theory to address pressing problems in traffic control, multi-agent path planning, and other engineering applications.
