RESEARCH
Control Theory. Nonlinear and
adaptive control. Stabilization of
partial differential equations. Extremum seeking.
Applications. Flow control
(turbulence, combustion, jet engines), fusion/plasmas/magnetohydrodynamics.
Flexible beams
and applications to nanotechnology (atomic force microscopy, AFM). Source
seeking and contaminant plume tracking in GPS-denied environments. Locomotion
of cells, bacteria, and fish. Automotive engine control. Control of marine
vehicles. Past efforts on aircraft wing rock, helicopter noise, bio/chemical
reactors.
