Giannis Badakis is a PhD candidate in the Signal Processing Systems group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), where he works on Bayesian inference for dynamical systems. He received his MSc (cum laude) from TU/e, with a thesis in the Control Systems group on Gaussian process-based model predictive control. His current research is on variational inference for online learning and control of dynamical systems in non-stationary, partially observed environments.
