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).
Active projects:
- Center for Harnessing Microbiota from Military Environments (CHARMME) (ARO)
- Layered T&E for Safety-Critical Autonomous Systems (AFOSR)
- Rules of Composition in Synthetic Biology Across Scales of Complexity: Theory and Tools (AFOSR)
- Multi-Layer, Composable and Programmable Biomolecular Circuits for Microbial Consortia (Army Research Office)
- Deciphering the Rules of Nucleus Architecture with Synthetic Cells and Organelles (NSF)
- Engineering Reliable Genetic Circuits for Characterization and Remediation of Soil Ecologies (Army Research Office)
- Safety-Critical Cyber-Physical Systems: From Validation & Verification to Test & Evaluation (NSF)
- Developing Standardized Cell-Free Platforms for Rapid Prototyping of Synthetic Biology Circuits and Pathways (NSF)
