“our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light” – Carl Sagan
Walk through an archive of my graduate coursework…
Spring 2025
EE 253: Power Electronics
Prof: Juan Rivas-Davila
These days I’d wager 20-30% of all energy eventually becomes some form of electrical energy. In this class, we learn how to wield it. Here’s to the most badass subfield of EE!
AA 203: Optimal and Learning-Based Control
Prof: Marco Pavone
In this course we go fast and get fancy. Gone are the days of PID control and state-space nonsense. Say hello to MPC, Q-Learning, and Dynamic Programming.
AA 222: Engineering Design Optimization
Prof: Mykel Kochenderfer
It seems like every course I take with Professor Kochenderfer is oddly applicable to daily life. At the risk of sounding hyperrational and soulless, I might say life is just a convex optimization problem.
