Hugo Tadashi M. Kussaba

Welcome to my personal web page.

I am a researcher with a PhD in Control Theory. My research interests include control theory, optimization, machine learning and their many applications to robotic (and non-robotic) systems.

In addition to my research, I am a software developer and technical writer with +3 years experience in the development and auditing of smart contracts.
