Academic and Outreach

Control Theory Seminar Series

I am co-organizing with Sam Burden the revival of the Control Theory Seminar Series in EECS starting in Fall 2013. The seminar schedule is located here.

Controls Salon, Summer 2013

During Summer 2013, I coordinated a Controls Salon to explore controls-related formulations, approaches, paradigms, viewpoints, etc. that could be applicable to a number of research agendas. A large focus was on "seminal" papers in the field, but we also investigated relevant survey papers and book chapters. The full Salon schedule with links is located here.

Engineering Outreach @Berkeley

I am part of the Engineering Outreach @Berkeley organization which seeks to bring engineering demonstrations and presentations to K-12 students. Our goal is to share our excitement for the research we do at a level accessible to K-12 students as well as to present ourselves as examples of careers in engineering. Check out our website for more information: http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~eegsa/or/index.html.

Berkeley Housing Suggestions

Finding housing in Berkeley can be a bit tricky. If you are a new graduate student, post-doc, visiting scholar, or anyone else moving to the Berkeley area, check out Yusef Shafi's excellent guide to finding housing in Berkeley and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Applying to Grad School

If you are thinking about applying to grad school, particularly engineering programs, check out Sam Burden's excellent guide on how to prepare for the process and get the most out of the experience.

Peer-Led Undergraduate Study (PLUS) Classes

I have led and created material for two Supplemental Instruction courses (referred to as PLUS courses at Georgia Tech). Below is the material I developed for these classes, which serves a mostly archival purpose now.
