Interested students and postdocs: I am currently planning to be on sabbatical from Jan 2025 through Dec 2026 and I am not starting any new students or postdocs in my group during this time. If you are interested in the work we are doing in my group, I encourage you to take a look at some of my collaborators at Caltech.
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).
