| The docker repo for my IROS 2018 Minimax iDG Submission has moved to the following repo: lakehanne/ros. Look for the idg_iros18 tag. I will continue hosting the youbotbuntu14 repo on my hub for the next six months before I finally delete it. | August 20, 2019 |
| I have successfully defended my PhD Thesis. Thanks to the mentors I worked with during my graduate program, viz. S.B. Jiang, and N. Gans, and my dissertation committee members: Mark Spong, T. Summers, Y. Tadesse and D. Bhatia. | May 16, 2019 |
| Starting in the summer of 2019, after I shall have defended my PhD thesis, I shall be resuming as a postdoc at The University of Chicago's Pritzker school of medicine. | January 31, 2019 |

Strava Activities Summary
I pedal the metal of an unstable bi-pedal robata, often logging approximately 120 miles a week, to the extent that the weather permits. I own a 2018 TREK Domane AL3 62cm road bike. It has served me well in Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana -- so far. Below are my activities summary for the current week on Strava. Feel free to follow on Strava
Side Projects
At my leisure, I like to read: research papers, history books, and engineering texts inter alia. Highlighted below are some of my reading lists in the past, codes you might find useful and what-have-you.
- awesome neuro-control: A curated list of papers that apply neural dynamics to control systems.
- awesome screw theory: A curated list of papers that apply screw theory for soft and rigid robots control.
- advice for fellowships, internships, conference grants applications
- summer’18 reading list: Bellman and Optimal Control
- summer’17 reading list: RAS Papers
- bash-scripts: Short and fun bash scripts.
- control/robotics/ai conference tracker
- screw theory, nonlinear/finite elastic deformation codes and continuum syntheses examples.
