Augustinos (Augustine) Saravanos
PhD in Machine Learning Student @ ACDS Lab , Georgia Tech
I’m a third year PhD in Machine Learning student at Georgia Tech. I am fortunate to be part of the Autonomous Control and Decision Systems Lab and to be advised by Prof. Evangelos Theodorou. I also work closely with Prof. Efstathios Bakolas from UT Austin.
My research focuses on developing distributed methods for the control of large-scale multi-agent systems . In particular, combining concepts from the areas of distributed optimization, stochastic optimal control and machine learning, my work aims in developing scalable and computationally efficient decentralized algorithms for controlling multi-agent systems with thousands of robots!
Some indicative works are Distributed Differential Dynamic Programming [Paper (preprint), Video], Decentralized Multi-Agent Deep FBSDEs [Paper (RSS ‘22), Video] and Distributed Covariance Steering [Paper (RSS ‘21) , Video].
Prior to Georgia Tech, I graduated (top 1%) with a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Patras in Greece, and was advised by Prof. Evangelos Papadopoulos and Prof. Nick Koussoulas.
