RESEARCH

 

Summary of my research.     Sample seminar slides.

 

Control Theory: Nonlinear & adaptive control. Stabilization of PDEs. Extremum seeking. Delay systems. Stochastic averaging and stabilization in probability. Non-cooperative games.


Applications: Flow control (in aerodynamics, combustion, jet engines, and fusion/plasmas/MHD). Flexible beams and cables. Source seeking in GPS-denied environments. Locomotion of cells and fish. Automotive engines. Marine vehicles. (Past efforts: aircraft wing rock, helicopter noise, bio/chemical reactors.)
