Sergio A. Dorado-Rojas

Welcome! I am Sergio (en: /sɛɹdʒioʊ/, es: /ˈseɾxjo/, it: /ˈsɛrd͡ʒo/), a Ph.D. student in electrical engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. I am an advisee of Dr. Daniel K. Molzahn.

My research evolves around problems from power system dynamics and operations, leveraging tools from controls, mathematical optimization, and signal processing.

About my (long) academic name

For most purposes, I use Sergio Dorado as my first and last names. In academic publications, I go by Sergio A. Dorado-Rojas, paying respect to my hispanic heritage and forcing the use of my maternal last name.

If you are not familiar with the naming conventions in hispanic countries, this Wikipedia article provides an excellent overview.

News

  • July 2025: our work on discrete-time modeling of PWM modules was accepted for presentation at ISGT Europe 2025. I will also be presenting our recent paper on adaptive internal models for converter control.

  • July 2025: I was invited to give a guest lecture on the graduate course Special Topics on Controls at my alma mater, Universidad Nacional de Colombia. The topic of the talk was system identification, a discipline I am learning every day more and more. Thanks to Prof. John Cortés-Romero for the invitation!

  • May 2025: I was awarded the 2025-2026 Chateaubriand STEM Fellowship by the Embassy of France in the United States. I will complete a nine-month research stay at Université Paris-Saclay (CentraleSupélec) under the supervision of Prof. Sorin Olaru 🎉!

  • May 2025: our work on adaptive internal models for converter control under extreme frequency conditions has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions of Power Delivery. Check the early access here.

  • October 2024: presentation at the INFORMS Annual Meeting about Approximate Internal Models, an approach to exploit the internal model principle of control theory using online estimators.
