Massimiliano de Sa
Hello! My name is Massimiliano (Max) de Sa. I am a PhD student in Control & Dynamical Systems at Caltech, where I am advised by Professor Aaron Ames.
Previously, I was an undergraduate student at UC Berkeley, where I graduated in 2023 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Mathematics. While there, I worked with Professor Koushil Sreenath on aerial robotics.
Please reach out to me at my email below if you have any questions! Fun linear algebra problems are also welcome :)

Research
I'm broadly interested in robust and safety-critical nonlinear control, motivated by applications in robotics.

Teaching & Outreach
As an undergraduate student, I was a uGSI for ME/EECS/BioE C106A, Introduction to Robotics, ME/EECS/BioE C106B, Robotic Manipulation & Interaction, and ME 100, Electronics for the Internet of Things.
You can find the notes I wrote for each of these classes at the links below.
I am currently writing a Python library for robotic manipulation and control education - stay tuned for more!
