Areas of Research

• Hybrid Control Systems (Hybrid Systems Lab Web Page)
  These are systems which combine continuous time dynamics with discrete event dynamics. Research involves design, verification using new computational methods for computing reachable sets, and simulation of hybrid systems. We are currently developing the theory and designing models to predict the behavior of complex systems.
  This work is supported by the DARPA Software Enabled Control program and by a new ONR MURI project called CoMotion, for Computational Methods for Collaborative Motion, and by an NSF Career Award.
  Below are some images of reachable set calculation for a test problem (The Game of Two Identical Vehicles); with both the three dimensional set in relative (x,y) and heading angle coordinates, and slices at fixed heading shown. Code and images by Ian Mitchell.
  
  
• Air Traffic Control Automation
  This is joint work with NASA Ames to design models of and control systems for Air Traffic dynamics. This research includes algorithms for automatic resolution of trajectory conflicts between multiple aircraft, as well as novel polynomial time scheduling algorithms. This work is supported through NASA Ames (Banavar Sridhar).
  
  
• Algorithms for Decentralized Optimization
  In this project, we are designing algorithms with provable convergence properties for decentralized optimization -- meaning that several interconnected units act as local decision-makers and optimize local costs, coordinating with each other through constraints. This work is supported by an ONR MURI.
  
• Flight Management System Analysis and Design
  This research involves analysis of flight mode switching, aerodynamic envelope protection, and in the verification of cockpit automation from the human pilot's point of view. Joint work with the human factors division at NASA Ames (Asaf Degani).
  
  
• Modeling and Analysis of Biological Cell Networks
  In this research project we are building models and analysis tools for biological cell networks. Current research includes modeling a protein network within Drosophila wing that causes planar polarity within the wing -- we have developed a two-layer model, a hybrid model interfaced with a more detailed PDE reaction-diffusion model. This work is funded under the DARPA BioInfoMicro program, and a new award from Stanford's Bio-X Program. Joint with Professor Jeff Axelrod in the Department of Pathology, Stanford University School of Medicine.
  Below are some images: (Left) Fly wing showing hair polarity (courtesy Dali Ma, Stanford University); (Center) Results of our PDE Model showing Fz steady state protein concentration and resulting predicted hair cell direction in the presence of a patch of cells mutant for Fz protein; (Right) Results of our Hybrid Model showing Fz steady state protein concentration in the presence of a patch of cells mutant for Fz protein. Models and images by Keith Amonlirdviman and Ronojoy Ghosh.
  
  
• Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Design and Control
  In this project we are building a team of UAVs with the goals of studying formation flying, architectures for distributed control, and methods for reliable control over communication links. All of the aircraft and automation design has been done by us -- and we fly the vehicles at Moffett Federal airfield next to NASA Ames. This work is supported by the DARPA Software Enabled Control program. Work of Jung Soon Jang and Rodney Teo.
