Background

I am a fourth year Ph.D. student working with Dr. Murat Arcak in the Networked Dynamical Systems Group. My research is funded in part by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.

I graduated from Georgia Tech with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering in May, 2010 and received a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from UC Berkeley in May, 2012. I expect to complete my PhD in the Spring of 2015.

During Summer 2012, I interned at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. I was a visiting scholar at the Lund Center for Control of Complex Engineering Systems at Lund University, Sweden during October 2012.

Research Interests

My research centers around analysis and control of cyber-physical, networked systems with applications that include dynamic traffic modeling, formation control of mobile agents, and mechanism design for complex systems with human interaction.

My specific research interests include: distributed control of multiagent systems, noncooperative control and game theory, safety verification of networked systems, and controller synthesis for safety of hybrid systems.
