Justice Valentine Essuman

Adventurer, a controls and dynamical systems PhD student at Virginia Tech, and he is advised by Dr. Leonard Smith and Dr. Hamed at Bradley ECE. Originally a System Integration Engineer (SW & HW) working to improve the synergy between hardware and software systems through firmware engineering, hardware integration, and data for diagnostics and control.

Currently, I'm a Research Assistant at Virginia Tech, specialising in data-driven control and dynamical systems, discovering governing equations of dynamical systems to be leveraged for control and forecasting

Prior to my PhD, I've contributed to hardware and software development at Morgan Stanley, Turntabl, and The Automation Group Ghana, from research labs and start-ups to large enterprises. I also designed and taught an AI summer course, guiding learners through building intelligent systems.

In my spare time, I'm usually reading, contributing to open-source, or exploring new ideas in robotics and computer vision.
