Sarah H.Q. Li | Incoming Assistant Professor Georgia Tech sarahli@gatech [dot] edu

I am a postdoctoral scholar at the Automatic Control Laboratory, ETH Zürich, working with John Lygeros and Florian Dörfler. Before this, I completed my PhD in Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington, advised by Behçet Açıkmeşe and Pierre-Loïc Garoche.
I will be joining Georgia Tech Aerospace Engineering as an assistant professor in January, 2025!
I am looking for prospective graduate students interested in advanced air mobility, supply chains, and space traffic through the lens of:
  1. Game Theory for Safety-critical Operations [1] [2] [3]
  2. Stochastic Control for Forecast-driven Systems [1] [2]
  3. Orbital Decision-making under Epistemic Uncertainty
Please apply through Georgia Tech AE and indicate your interest in working with me. If you have specific interest/experience with any of the topics listed above, please send me an email.

I optimize large-scale, multi-agent autonomous systems in uncertain environments, specifically in the areas of robotics, urban transportation, and air traffic management. My research combines techniques from optimization, control theory, and game theory to develop frameworks that scalably integrates congestion-free autonomous behavior into existing infrastructure in urban, air, and space traffic management.
