IFAC 2014 Plenary Talk: Specification, Verification and Synthesis for Networked Control Systems

Research

My group's research is in the application of feedback and control to networked systems, with applications in biology and autonomy. Current projects include work on biomolecular feedback systems, novel architectures for control systems, and networked control systems (see my research overview for more details).
