Profile
Morgan received the B.S. and Mmath in Mathematics from The University of Oxford, England in 2016. He received his PhD in Aerospace Engineering from Arizona State University (ASU), USA in 2021. Currently, he is a lecturer in Machine Learning and Control Theory at the University of Sheffield, UK. At Arizona State University Morgan was a member of Cybernetic Systems and Controls Laboratory (CSCL) from 2016 till 2021.
Morgan is a lecturer at the intersection of machine learning and control theory, with expertise in system identification, reinforcement learning, and algebraic methods for geometric learning. Morgan is Cross-Cutting Theme Lead for Supporting Digital Education at the CMI and the programme lead of the MSc Artificial Intelligence for Engineering. As part of his CMI role, he leads digital education initiatives, helping shape MSc AI modules across the University. He focuses on identifying gaps in AI provision across schools, developing new modules where needed, and exploring opportunities for efficiency savings by sharing modules across disciplines.
- Research interests
- AI and Control: Certifying stability of dynamic systems from trajectory data. Providing performance guarantees of controller performance synthesized from learnt value functions.
- Geometric Learning: Semialgebraic surface reconstruction and polynomial-based safety certification.
- Reinforcement Learning (RL): Using Dynamic Programming for path planning, battery planning and obstacle avoidance.
- System Identification: Developing frameworks that embed physical and structural priors into learned models.
