Sonali and Tristan advance

Last updated on December 24, 2024

Congrats to Sonali Chaudhari for passing the Oral Preliminary Exam in Fall, 2024. For her homestretch of the PhD journey, she will continue to work on trajectory optimization of autonomous drones, and also work on integrating this work with an O-RAN based architecture to allow cooperative trajectory control between drones and basestations.

Congrats to Tristan Mullins for passing the Written Preliminary Exam in Fall, 2024. Tristan will work on a research area he has articulated, related to the general problem of detecting consistency and agreement in observations of the same physical environment by multiple unrelated IoT agents, and converting that to bootstrap trust among such agents.
