Trevor Gross developed and enhanced model predictive control (MPC) features for the AlgebraicJulia/AlgebraicOptimization.jl repository over three months, focusing on agent-based modeling and control systems. He implemented a modular MPC module in Julia using JuMP and Ipopt, refactored state-space dynamics for clarity, and introduced reusable plotting utilities to visualize agent trajectories. Trevor also delivered example simulations, such as flocking and moving formations, with comprehensive documentation and dynamic plotting. His work emphasized code modularization, maintainability, and data export in CSV and PNG formats, resulting in a robust, well-documented codebase that supports both demonstration and further research in mathematical optimization.
April 2025 monthly summary for AlgebraicOptimization.jl: Delivered two feature-rich examples with enhanced plotting capabilities and documentation, updated dependencies, and improved asset hygiene. The changes strengthen demonstrability for users and contribute to onboarding efficiency, while preserving API stability.

February 2025: Consolidated model predictive control (MPC) capabilities in AlgebraicOptimization.jl. Delivered a basic MPC module 'simple_mpc' using JuMP and Ipopt with horizon-based optimization, added a target-state objective, and plotting of control inputs to visualize MPC behavior. Upgraded dependencies and corrected variable declarations to fix integration issues. Achieved initial convergence improvements by factoring state updates at each step and adding graphs; included an initial sample function (not tested) to validate the MPC workflow.
