Zachary Sunberg's research focuses on decision making under uncertainty to enable safe and efficient autonomous vehicle operation. Specifically, his primary current focus is on problems where uncertainty is the most difficult aspect of the problem, primarily focusing on the partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) formalism. His most significant contributions are in the area of online POMDP planning.
