teaching

Courses, laboratories, supervision, and teaching materials in automatic control.

My teaching covers MATLAB/Simulink, nonlinear control of wind turbines, optimal control, and system identification. I have taught and designed coursework at École Centrale Nantes and previously served as a teaching assistant at K. N. Toosi University of Technology.
