Hi, I’m Noel Csomay-Shanklin. I’m currently finishing my PhD in Control and Dynamical Systems at Caltech and am on the job market. I’m excited to join a team and help develop the next generation of agile robotic systems. My research is centered around hierarchical and optimization-based control strategies that enable dynamic behaviors for legged robots.

I’m known among my peers for getting things to work on hardware, and I pride myself on leveraging my hands-on expertise to bring theory into practice. For more information about my research, check out this Research Overview, or see my Curriculum Vitae. Please feel free to reach out at noelcs [at] caltech [dot] edu to discuss my research or potential work opportunities.
