About Me

I am an Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Memphis, where I lead the Autonomous & Complex Systems Laboratory.

Research Interests

The overarching theme of our research is the analysis, design, and control of complex and autonomous systems. Systems include autonomous ground and aerial vehicles, multi-agent systems, large-scale cyber-physical networks, and robots that interact with humans. We apply tools and techniques from control theory, optimization, graph theory, and machine learning to control and assure the safety of these systems.
