RESEARCH
Control
Theory.
Nonlinear
and adaptive control. Stabilization
of partial differential equations. Extremum
seeking. Delay systems. Stochastic averaging and
stabilization in probability. Non-cooperative games.
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.
