Jake Gonzales

Hi! I'm a PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Washington where I am advised by Prof. Behçet Açıkmeşe and Prof. Lillian Ratliff. I am also a member of the Autonomous Controls Lab. I am fortunate to be supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and previously an Amazon PhD Fellowship.

My research focuses on decision-making in multi-agent interactions, using tools from control theory, machine learning, optimization, uncertainty quantification, and game theory. I am interested in developing theory and principled algorithms that enable autonomous agents to interact safely and efficiently in uncertain, real-world environments.

Previously, I did my undergrad in ECE at the University of New Mexico, where I did undergrad research in the Human-Centered Systems and Control Lab and was supervised by Prof. Meeko Oishi. My research was in data-driven control and stochastic optimal control. I'm intersted in theory and algorithms for practical applications, so I have spent time doing internships at Sandia National Labs and MIT Lincoln Labs.
