Bio Sketch

  • Robust Control
  • Nonlinear control
  • Convex Optimization

My research interest includes:

1. Robust Control
     - H-infinity control
     - Control of negative-imaginary systems
     - Generalized distance measure for uncertain systems
     - Control of dynamical systems with actuator saturation constraint and
       hysteresis nonlinearity
     - Control of positive systems

2. Convex optimization in control
      - Semidefinite programming, specifically Linear matrix inequality approach
      - Duality

3. Nonlinear control
      - Passivity based control
      - Absolute stability theory
      - Integral Quadratic Constraints

4. Applications of robust and nonlinear control
