Leonardo Felipe Toso
BSc in Electrical Engineering, MEng in Control Engineering, and MSc in Control, Signal, and Image Processing
I am a Presidential Fellow and first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University, where I work with Professor James Anderson. Prior to joining the Department of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University, I was an undergraduate research intern in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, from April 2021 to November 2021, under the supervision of Professor Stephen Duncan and Doctor Ross Drummond. I was awarded my MSc in Control, Signal, and Image Processing from the University of Paris-Saclay in 2022 and the MEng in Control Engineering from CentraleSupélec in 2022, where I had the great opportunity of working with Professor Giorgio Valmorbida. In addition, I received my BSc in Electrical Engineering from the University of Campinas (Unicamp) in 2022, working with Professor Matheus Souza. You can find my CV and google scholar here.
