Sergio Dorado (Sergio A. Dorado-Rojas)

Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering

Welcome! I am a researcher in power systems interested in problems at the intersection of controls, optimization, and signal processing. Currently, I am completing my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. I am an advisee of Dr. Daniel K. Molzahn.

About my (long) academic name

For most purposes, I use Sergio Dorado as my first and last names, respectively. However, my academic name is Sergio A. Dorado-Rojas, paying respect to my hispanic heritage (and forcing the use of my maternal last name through hyphenation). If you are not familiar with the naming conventions in hispanic countries, the Wikipedia article below provides an excellent explanation.

Naming customs of Hispanic America

The naming customs of Hispanic America are similar to the Spanish naming customs practiced in Spain, with some modifications to the surname rules. Many Hispanophones in the countries of Spanish-speaking America have two given names, plus like in Spain, a paternal surname (primer apellido or apellido paterno) and a maternal surname (segundo apellido or apellido materno).
