Research

I work in the area of nonlinear control systems. I am particularly interested the path following problem and its application to multi-agent systems. A list of selected publications is available on this site.

My other interests include methods for stabilizing sets in the state space of a system, synchronization problems, output feedback control and CAD for nonlinear controllers.

Teaching

I am teaching ECE 484 : Digital Control Applications in the fall 2009 semester. A complete list of courses I have taught is also available.

Graduate students

A list of current and past graduate students. I will most likely be accepting motivated new students for the Fall 2010 term. The ideal candidates will be interested in fundamental research motivated by real applications in the general area of nonlinear control.

Miscellanea

A catch–all which contains some personal information, interesting links and anything that does not belong elsewhere.
