Sabbatical note: I am on sabbatical from Caltech until Fall 2010. During this time, I will not be able to host visitors, take on new postdocs or sponsor new undergraduate projects (including SURF). I will be continuing to advise my existing students and participate in ongoing projects. If you are a Caltech student and would like to meet with me, I'll be returning to campus a few days every month or two.
Prospective graduate students: I admit students through the CDS, BE and CS graduate programs at Caltech. Many of my students also come from the BMB, CNS, EE and ME departments, but I do not actively participate in admissions decisions in those programs.
Prospective postdocs: I typically make decisions about postdocs in the April-May timeframe, when I know what my grants look like for fall. Caltech has several postdoc programs that admit exceptionally qualified postdocs for independent study at Caltech:
Publications
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 verification and validation of distributed embedded systems, analysis of insect flight control systems, and biological circuit design.
