Trevor Gross developed advanced model predictive control (MPC) features for the AlgebraicJulia/AlgebraicOptimization.jl repository, focusing on agent-based simulations and control systems. Over three months, he implemented a modular MPC module using Julia, JuMP, and Ipopt, introducing horizon-based optimization and target-state objectives. He refactored the codebase for explicit state-space modeling, improved plotting utilities for clearer trajectory visualization, and modularized plotting logic for maintainability. Trevor also delivered example implementations such as flocking and moving formations, enhancing documentation and data export with CSV and PNG outputs. His work demonstrated technical depth in mathematical optimization, code organization, and reproducible, well-documented simulation workflows.

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.
