My primary research interest is the constrained control of nonlinear systems. This fairly broad subject provides a variety of meaningful challenges that combine both theory and applications. My theoretic research is aimed at the development of systematic, reliable, and efficient control tools capable of addressing a wide array of problems. My applied research employs these tools to solve relevant problems in modern engineering practice.

Spring 2019
Provides experience in control system design and analysis, using both real hardware and computer simulation. Covers the entire control system design cycle: modeling the system, synthesizing a controller, conducting simulations, analyzing the design to suggest modifications and improvements, and implementing the design for actual testing.
