Yuto Watanabe/渡邊優大

Bio

I was born in TOYOTA city, Aichi, Japan, on October 16 1999.

I received the Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical engineering and Master’s degree in Informatics both from Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan, in 2022 and in 2024, respectively. I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Kazunori Sakurama and Prof. Toshiyuki Ohtsuka. From April 2024 to August 2024, I was a research fellow at Kyoto University funded by the JSPS Research Fellowship for Young Scientist DC1.

From September 2024, I am a Ph.D. student at the ECE department, University of California San Diego, USA. I work at the Scalable Optimization and Control (SOC) Lab under the supervision of Prof. Yang Zheng.

My research interests include control theory, optimization, and their applications to network systems (e.g., distributed algorithms). I was awarded the 2024 Funai Overseas Scholarship.

In my free time, I enjoy running, juggling, and listening to music.
