Jhanani Selvakumar is a doctoral student in the department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Texas at Austin. She obtained her M.S.E in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and B.E in Aerospace Engineering at Anna University, Chennai, India. Her past research focused on applying a game-theoretic framework to vehicle control problems in uncertain environments. Currently, she works on non-cooperative multi-agent games for applications on path-planning. She is specifically interested in the contributions of game theory to problems in orbital mechanics and robotics. She was a recipient of the Amelia Earhart Fellowship for the year 2016.
