I'm a research scientist/post doctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley for Professor Shankar Sastry. I majorly work for BErkeley AeRobot (BEAR) project.
My research interests include model predictive
control (MPC) theory, semi-infinite optimization problems, mechatronics, real-time system design
and
software/hardware implementation, autonmous unmanned systems (UAVs, UGVs, and UUVs),
rotorcraft dynamics, and robotics.
I also work with Professor Elijah Polak on various applied optimization problems.
