PhD Student

Hello, my name is Grant Pauker. I am Electrical Engineering PhD student at USC advised by Stephen Tu (Electrical Engineering, USC) and Lars Lindemann (Automatic Control Laboratory, ETH Zürich). My current work focuses on using statistical tools to bound uncertainty and formally guarantee the safety of autonomous systems. More generally, I am interested in combining the stability and safety provided by control theory with the flexibility of data-driven techniques (machine learning, statistics, etc).

I completed my undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering at UCLA in 2025. There I was a member of Bruin Racing Baja, helping to develop the control systems and software for the team's first working ECVT (Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission). I also worked with teD Iwasaki study the neural circuitry in leeches, and how this can be modeled as control system to facilitate their swimming.
