Danyal Saqib
I am a PhD student at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada, researching control, modeling, and analysis of complex systems with applications to robotics and embodied physical intelligence. I am specifically interested in the explainability of reservoir computing using tools from nonlinear control theory. I am a part of the Padoan Lab within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, supervised by Dr. Alberto Padoan.
I previously completed my MSc at the University of Calgary, with research focusing on Robotics and Controls as part of the Calgary Human-Robot Collaboration (CHRC) Lab, supervised by Dr. Marie Charbonneau. I received my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from SEECS, NUST. My undergraduate thesis was supervised by Dr. Wajahat Hussain, in the domain of self-supervised learning for robotic systems.
