Current Research
My research has been in the area of control systems and estimation. This includes control of nonlinear systems, hybrid systems, and switched systems. My recent research has focused on human interaction in the control loop. Teaming humans and machines for cooperative control purposes has many advantages but remains a challenge to achieve these advantages in a safe and robust way.
