Adam Wierman’s research strives to make the networked systems that govern our world sustainable and resilient. His lab develops new mathematical tools in machine learning, optimization, control, and economics and applies these tools to design new algorithms and markets with provable guarantees that can be deployed in data centers, the electricity grid, transportation systems, and beyond.
For information on joining the lab as an undergraduate, graduate, or postdoc, see here.

I actively look for new graduate students and postdocs every year, especially at the intersection of learning and control and in the broad area of smart grid markets and control. Info about applying and reaching out to me is here.
I am also always looking for undergraduate researchers both for research during the year and as part of the SURF and WAVE programs. More info about how to apply and reach out to me is here.
Seminars at Caltech
If you’re at Caltech and want to learn more about research in (and related to) our group, there are a number of regular seminars you can join. The CMS departmental Keller colloquium is Mondays at 4pm, the Center for Social and Information Sciences (CSIS) has seminars Fridays at noon, and the Resnick Sustainability Institute has seminars Mondays at noon. Finally, my group has small informal seminars Thursdays at 4pm and all potential collaborators are welcome!
Office Hours
I keep office hours during the term on Tuesdays from 1-2pm PT. I am available during this time for discussions with my undergraduate advisees and for any students/postdocs who would like to meet. Typically, these meetings are held in my office (ANB 215) but, during periods when Caltech is virtual, please email me or my assistant (info below) for the zoom info. You can feel free to just drop in; however, emailing ahead of time to schedule a time is preferred.
