- My research goals focus on the
development of autonomous systems
for engineering and life sciences in the face of system uncertainties
and
nonlinearities. To this end, my research interests include stability of
nonlinear dynamical systems, nonnegative dynamical systems, hybrid
dynamical
systems, absolute stability theory, nonlinear adaptive control, neural
network
and intelligent control, adaptive disturbance rejection, adaptive fault
tolerant control, adaptive switching control, adaptive signal
processing,
adaptive estimation and system identification, adaptive discrete-time
and
sampled-data control, and amplitude and rate saturation control.
Applied areas
of interest include vibration control of large-scale space structures,
underactuated control of nonholonomic robotic systems and mechanical
manipulators, adaptive control for drug delivery systems, modeling and
control
of biological/physiological systems, active control of combustion
processes,
rigid-body attitude control, and coordinated multi-body aerospace
vehicles for
formation flying and rendezvous.
