Research Interests

Analysis and design of biomolecular feedback systems, bioplausible architectures for sensory-based control systems, networked control systems.

Research Statement

My group's research is in the application of feedback and control to networked systems, with applications in biology and autonomy. Current projects include analysis and design of biomolecular feedback circuits, analysis of insect flight control systems, and verification and validation of distributed embedded systems.
