Prospective graduate students: Students in my group come through the CDS, BE, BMB, ACM, CS and ME graduate programs at Caltech. Many of my students also come from the CNS and EE departments, but I do not actively participate in admissions decisions in those programs. Please take a look at my current research interests to get a sense of what my group is currently working on.
Recent 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 work on biomolecular feedback systems, novel architectures for control systems, and networked control systems (see my research overview for more details).
