Warren Hoburg

I am a Ph.D. candidate at UC Berkeley, advised by Pieter Abbeel. Previously I studied Aerospace Engineering at MIT. My research focuses on problems in aircraft design, operations, and manufacturing, and is powered by ideas from optimization, machine learning, and computer science.

I am supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship.
