Biography
Yingzhao graduated with a MSc in Mechanical Enginerring from EPFL in 2018. He specialized in optimization and learning theory. He jointly conducted his master’s thesis with the Automatic Control Lab, EPFL and ABB Corporate Research, Baden, where he investigated the problem of data-driven model based optimal control.In August 2018, he joined the Automatic Control Laboratory at EPFL as a PhD student under the supervision of Professor Colin Jones.
