Research Interests
I am interested in the mathematical underpinnings of decision-making in dynamic and uncertain environments, specifically in:
- Stochastic Optimization
- Game Theory
- Control of Network Systems
Applications include:
- Safe, Secure and Fault-Tolerant Cyber-Physical Systems
- Power Systems and Smart Grid
- Modeling and Control of Epidemics on Networks
Visit our research page or the ODDESSY Lab page for details.
I do not offer summer internships or projects to external students.
