I'm a 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 the application of model predictive
control (MPC) theory for distributed systems, safe set approximation
using receding horizon optimization, real-time system design and
software/hardware implementation, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs),
rotorcraft dynamics, and robotics.
Recently, I started to work with Professor Elijah Polak on the fast solver for finite-horizon optimal control problems.
