    • Theoretical focus, especially on funnel synthesis
  • Predictive Control
    • Data-driven MPC for uncertain and nonlinear systems
    • Reachability, robustness, and constraint handling
  • Game Theory
    • Multi-agent systems and distributed decision-making
  • Reinforcement Learning
    • Model-free and model-based RL for real-world systems

Other Interests

  • Hobbies: oil painting, playing the piano
  • Fun fact: I have a dog inside me who’s always trying to get out for a walk. Emotionally, too.
