Office Hours

During the summer term 2024: Monday 1pm-2pm in my office (room 9.2.235)

Subject

My research interests are centered around systems and control theory with a focus on quantum algorithms and data-driven control. In quantum algorithms, I am using systems and control theory to better understand questions of robustness, optimization, and machine learning, but also the converse direction of how to use quantum computers in control. In data-driven control, I am developing methods with rigorous stability and robustness guarantees to design safe controllers with high performance as required for complex control applications.
