Mehmet Giray Öğüt

PhD Candidate, Electrical Engineering, Stanford University

About

I am a PhD candidate in electrical engineering at Stanford University, and member of convex optimization group advised by Prof. Stephen Boyd.

Research

My research is on probabilistic forecasting and robust model predictive control methods in grid operations and battery management. I try to make sure that methods I develop are explainable and interpretable so that they can be safely used in practice. To achieve this goal, I use tools from convex optimization, machine learning, and statistics.

Papers

Below are my recent papers. You can find the full list of my publications on Google Scholar.

Teaching

I was the instructor of EE364A:Convex Optimization I class in summer 2024. I taught the class to 43 students, designed the homeworks and final exam. I was responsible for reorganizing teaching material, coordinating with TAs, and grading. I was also the teaching assistant of the same class in summer 2022 and winter 2023. If you are studying the material in the book or in additional exercises please do not hesitate to reach out to me so that we can think together. You can find coding tutorials on CVXPY.

My previous teaching experience at Stanford include:
