Education
Classes and educational materials
- CDS 110a, Feedback Systems (Fall 2008) - This course provides an introduction to feedback systems and control theory. It includes biomolecular examples in lectures and homework. It is taken by advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students.
- Biomolecular_Feedback_Systems - This set of notes is intended for researchers interested in the application of feedback and control to biomolecular systems. It is a draft manuscript for a book that I am considering writing with Domitilla Del Vecchio, a former student now at MIT.
