Research Interests
My research interests lie in the broad area of systems and control, with a particular focus on distributed control of multi-agent systems and the resilience of cyber-physical multi-agent systems under adversarial attacks. I am also interested in robot decision-making and control, as well as the integration of neural networks, machine learning, and reinforcement learning into intelligent control frameworks. In addition, my work extends to embedded systems design, where I explore the implementation of advanced control and learning algorithms on resource-constrained hardware platforms.
