Convex Optimization, Nonlinear Systems, Control Theory

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Chair of Mathematical Systems Theory, University of Stuttgart under the direction of Prof. Carsten Scherer. My thesis topic involved peak estimation and safety analysis (e.g. speed of a car, height of an aircraft, distance to an obstacle) Another branch of research involves data-driven control, including when the system is contaminated with a combination of input, measurement, and process noise (such as flying a drone with faulty motors and sensors on a windy day). I am also interested in optimization and renewable energy integration, and am therefore learning about power systems and power electronics.

I received a Bachelors (EE) and a Masters (EE/CE) degree from Northeastern University in 2018, and a PhD (EE) degree from Northeastern University in 2023 (advised by Mario Sznaier). I was previously a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Automatic Control Lab, ETH Zurich, in the research group of Prof. Roy S. Smith.

I have always been interested in applied mathematics, and was introduced to control theory and sparsity during my co-op at ASML (Veldhoven, NL) in 2016. I learned about convex optimization as part of Mario Sznaier’s course Big Data, Sparsity, and Control in 2017, for which I later became a teaching assistant.
