Research

I work in the area of nonlinear feedback control systems. I am particularly interested in motion control problems and their application to electro-mechanical 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 robotics.

I am actively seeking talented master's and doctoral students who are interested in control theory and robotics.

Teaching

I generally teach couses related to systems and control. I am teaching ECE 682: Multivariable Control Systems in Fall 2024. Here is a list of courses that I have taught .

Graduate Students
