SOC Lab – Seminars

Within the SOC Lab, we host two regular events: SOC Reading Group and SOC Group Meeting.

Reading Group

We meet regularly to discuss classical and the latest papers in optimization and control. This opportunity is open to UC San Diego students. Feel free to join if you're interested! To foster meaningful discussions, we kindly encourage participants to read the assigned papers prior to the group session.

For Fall 2025, the reading group takes place on Wednesdays (biweekly) from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm at FAH 3009.

You can find the schedule here.

Group Meeting

We meet biweekly to update the progress of each group member's work.

For Fall 2025, our group meeting takes place on Fridays (biweekly) from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm at FAH 3009.

Seminars

We also invite speakers from outside the lab to share their insights and research findings.

Additionally, some of these seminars are jointly listed with Control & Pizza (Co-PI) Seminars on Optimization, Control, and Learning, which is co-organized with a few other faculty members from the ECE and MAE departments. Check the schedule: Co-PI seminars.
