Control problems of the future cannot be solved alone, you need to work together. Hence, it is fantastic that the NCCR stimulates collaborations!

Wouter Jongeneel received a M.Sc. degree in Systems & Control from Delft University of Technology in 2019. In January 2020, he joined Prof. Kuhn his group, the Risk Analytics and Optimization (RAO) chair, at EPFL. His research interests revolve around data-driven optimization and control under uncertainty, with an occasional geometric flavour.

After graduating from his PhD, Wouter went on to a postdoc at UC Louvain.
