Background
- Research interests lie at the intersection of nonlinear control theory, convex optimization, circuit theory, and neural networks. Particular interests include analogue neuromorphic circuits, graphical analysis and design methods, monotone operator methods in large-scale optimization, and the interplay between circuit theory and convex optimization.
Miscellany
- Loves searching for connections between the latest research topics and old, forgotten ideas. Biggest heroes are Jan Willems and George Zames. Qualified welder, enjoys rock climbing, cycling, surfing, and music (especially Bach and anything with a time signature of 7).
