ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

Sarah Li

A&A alum and Condit Dissertation fellow

Sarah is a researcher in the Autonomous Controls Lab, she works on predicting and regulating the system-level behavior of competing autonomous agents. We can apply her research to lower earth orbit satellite networks, UAV swarms, or upcoming delivery vehicles on our roads. By modeling these systems as dynamic games, Sarah's research proposes methods to design optimal incentives for individual agents to make decisions that benefit the entire system.
