Hi! My name is Luke.

I am third year doctoral candidate at UCSD advised by Yuanyuan Shi with mentorship from Miroslav Krstic. I am currently working on applied learning algorithms for dynamical systems. My goal is to develop control algorithms that can be run in real time (learning) with provable stability guarentees (control theory). I am fortunate to be funded by the DOE CSGF fellowship. For a brief introduction to my research, please check out my most recent seminar talk on YouTube. For more details about my work, see my curriculum vitae.

I did my undergrad at Vanderbilt University studying physics, applied math, and computer science. I was fortunate to be a member of the accelerated bachelors/masters program in which I was advised by Kalman Varga and Gautam Biswas.
