Mentored students and resources for research life.
I am fortunate to work with students who bring curiosity and care to questions in learning, control, and decision making. I also keep a few advising and research-life resources. Some links are practical, some are opinionated, and some are just good reminders that most research progress begins with formulating the right question.
