Academic Achievements
- Published several preprints, such as 'Synthesis of Model Predictive Control and Reinforcement Learning: Survey and Classification' (2025), 'Semi-Infinite Programming for Collision-Avoidance in Optimal and Model Predictive Control' (2025), and 'Ellipsoidal Partitions for Improved Multi-stage Robust Model Predictive Control' (2025). For more publications, see his Google Scholar page and arXiv list.
Research Experience
- Joined the Laboratory for Systems, Control and Optimization at the University of Freiburg as a research and teaching assistant. Involved in organizing and teaching several semester courses, including systems theory and control, numerical optimization, numerical optimal control, and model predictive control and reinforcement learning.
Education
- Received a B.Sc. in Microsystems Engineering from the University of Freiburg, Germany, in 2016 and an M.Sc. in Mathematical Engineering from KU Leuven, Belgium, in 2018. Since March 2020, he has been pursuing a PhD under the supervision of Prof. Moritz Diehl, and since January 2022 as an associated fellow of the Marie-Skłodowska-Curie project ELO-X.
Background
- Research interests include uncertainty-aware model predictive control, robust, stochastic and dual methods, efficient formulations and algorithms, sequential convex programming and generalized Gauss-Newton methods.
