Indicative Recent (and not so recent) Presentations

Pop Science Talks

Every once in a while, I get asked to give talks to broad audiences (not necessarily experts in control, optimization, power, etc.). If you want to get a high-level overview over my work, then the slides right below are probably helpful. For more focused talks, please scroll a little further down.
