Dr. Dominic Liao-McPherson received his BASc in Engineering Science (AERO 1T4 + PEY) from the University of Toronto in 2015 and his PhD in Aerospace Engineering and Scientific Computing from the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) in 2020. Dr. Liao-McPherson was a postdoc at the ETH Zurich Automatic Control Lab (ifA) before joining the University of British Columbia in 2023.
Dr. Liao-McPherson’s research interests lie at the intersection of optimization, control, and computing with applications in robotics, energy, and aerospace. He designs sophisticated real-time computational decision-making and data-processing algorithms and study how they interact with the physical systems they control.
