Summary
I received a B.A.Sc. in electrical engineering from the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada, in 2016, and in 2018 I received a M.A.Sc. in electrical engineering studying adaptive control from the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Since 2018 I have been part of the Control and Power (CAP) Research Group at Imperial College London, London, U.K., where I'm currently working as a research associate (since May 2023, research assistant from April 2022 to April 2023).
I completed a Ph.D. in nonlinear control theory as part of the CAP Research Group in 2023, with the topic of my thesis being model reduction and interpolation of systems of nonlinear differential-algebraic equations.
My current research is mainly focused on model reduction and the analysis of nonlinear systems.
