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 Research Group at Imperial College London, London, U.K., where I'm currently working as a research assistant (since 2022) and pursuing a Ph.D. degree in nonlinear control.
My current research is mainly focused on model reduction and the analysis of nonlinear systems.
