Workshops and Talks

I design and deliver workshops and talks that focus on creative engineering, intelligent systems, and innovation under uncertainty. These sessions are not tutorials or motivational talks. They are structured explorations of how engineers, researchers, and students can rethink problem framing, system design, and decision-making when traditional assumptions no longer hold.

My workshops bridge theory and practice, combining technical insight with conceptual clarity. They are intended for audiences who want to move beyond formulas and tools, and toward deeper understanding of how engineering systems behave in the real world.

Topics Commonly Covered

• Creative engineering systems and innovation

• Engineering under uncertainty and incomplete models

• Intelligent system design and robustness

• AI and physical systems

• Geometry-aware modeling and optimization

• Humanoid robotics, balance, and embodiment

• Rethinking control, stability, and decision-making

Format

Workshops and talks are adapted to the audience and context, and may include:

• Conceptual lectures grounded in real engineering problems

• Case studies from research and system design

• Interactive discussions on problem reformulation and system thinking

• Technical examples that highlight where conventional methods break down

Sessions have been delivered in academic, research, and professional settings, ranging from focused technical workshops to broader talks on innovation and creative engineering.

Philosophy

The goal of these sessions is not to provide answers, but to sharpen how questions are asked. Many of the most impactful engineering ideas emerge before solutions are clear, while models are still incomplete, and while assumptions are being challenged.
