Sepehr Moalemi

I’ve started my Ph.D. journey at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor! [I need to update this blurb :)]

I obtained my Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (Thesis) under the supervision of Prof. James Richard Forbes at McGill’s DECAR research group. My research focuses on studying optimization algorithms through the lens of control theory. More specifically, I’m interested in analyzing the stability and robustness of popular optimization algorithms using input-output theory. Within the context of gain-scheduling dissipative systems, I have also worked on extending the existing gain-scheduling architecture to a more general class of scheduling functions and dissipative systems.

I obtained my B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering (Honors) from McGill, with a minor in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics. For my undergraduate thesis, I was part of the McGill Computational Aerodynamics Group under the supervision of Prof. Siva Nadarajah.
