Research Interests

My general area of research is feedback control systems. My current interest is in distributed/complex systems and game theory. This work involves the control of networks of distributed decision making agents in uncertain and possibly hostile environments. Current/recent projects in this area are:

  • AFOSR/MURI: "Multi-layer and multi-resolution networks of interacting agents in adversarial
    environments" (Aug10-May15). coPI with Prof. T. Basar, PI (Illinois), and several others.


  • AFOSR/MURI: "Distributed learning and information dynamics in networked autonomous systems" (Jun09-May14), PI with Profs. E. Abed (UMaryland), M. Balcan (Gatech), J. Baras (UMaryland), M. Dahleh (MIT), L. Kaelbling (MIT), N. Martins (UMaryland), A. Ozdaglar (MIT), H.P. Young (Johns Hopkins).

  • ARO/MURI: "A cyber awareness framework for attack analysis, prediction, and visualization" (Jun09-May14). coPI with Prof. R. Kemmerer, PI (UCSB), and several others.

  • ONR: "Game theoretic learning for distributed autonomous collaboration" (Jun09-May14), PI with Profs. M. Balcan (Gatech), M. Dahleh (MIT), E. Frazzoli (MIT), and H.P. Young (Johns Hopkins).

  • AFOSR: "Dynamics of beliefs, culture, and social interactions" (Jan09-Dec13), coPI with Profs. A. Ozdaglar, PI (MIT), D. Acemoglu (MIT), and M. Dahleh (MIT).

  • AFOSR: "Coordinated multidisciplinary design of complex human machine systems" (Jul08-Oct11), PI with Profs. E. Feron (Gatech), L. Gasser (UIUC), and T. von Thaden (UIUC).
