Hi, this is J.J. Zhu. I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow funded by the European Union. I focus on numerical optimization/optimal control as well as machine learning. Currently, I am a visiting scholar at Prof. Moritz Diehl’s group.

I am interested in building intelligent systems using methods principled in old-fashioned & modern optimization, control theory, and principled machine learning. I spend a lot of time thinking about intelligence, physical motion, and multi-stage decision-making in dynamical systems.
