Ahmad Amine

Data-driven safe iterative control

I am a PhD student in Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, advised by Rahul Mangharam. My research focuses on learning and control of dynamical systems under uncertainty.

I study how successful task executions can improve control performance and how failed executions can identify constraints and invariance-preserving control inputs. My work combines model predictive control, learning, and system identification, with autonomous vehicles and autonomous racing as an application domain.

At Penn, I also teach control and robotics as a teaching assistant and help organize international Roboracer competitions.

I have a Masters in Robotics from Penn. Before my PhD, I got a BE in Electrical and Computer Engineering, with a minor in Mathematics, at the American University of Beirut.
