Michael Tang
Hello! I am a PhD student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at UC San Diego. My advisor is Jorge Poveda and I also work with Miroslav Krstic. I received my undergraduate degrees in electrical engineering and applied math from UCSD in 2023. I am grateful to be supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship
Research Interests: control, dynamical systems, optimization, multi-agent systems, game theory, reinforcement learning
