Karthik Gopalakrishnan
I am a postdoctoral scholar in the Autonomous Systems Lab at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Marco Pavone. I am also affiliated with the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford.
I develop methodologies to design, analyze, and operate mobility systems. I am particularly interested in settings with multiple objectives, competition and strategic decision-making by agents, uncertainty and imperfect information, data-privacy considerations, equity cocnerns, and safety-critical requirements. Typically, this involves combining classical techniques from operations research and control theory, with more recent tools from machine learning, differential privacy, and cryptography.
I obtained my PhD in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT and was advised by Prof. Hamsa Balakrishnan at the DINaMo lab. My doctoral research focused on scheduling and planning problems in air transportation systems. Prior to that, I obtained my SM from MIT and B.Tech. from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (where I received the HAL prize and the Institute Silver Medal for my academic performance).
My work has recieved several best paper awards [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] including the Kevin Corker Award for the best paper in the ATM Seminar 2021 [7].
