mission
Welcome to the Control, Optimization, and Networks Lab!
We seek to understand the rich interplay of dynamics, control, optimization, information, and uncertainty in large-scale networks, such as the electric power grid and distributed multi-robot teams.
Check out our research overview and papers for more details.
join
We are currently looking for highly motivated PhD students and Postdocs with interests in control, optimization, and networks to join the research team. The ideal candidate has done coursework and research in systems, control, and optimization; however, enthusiasm and strong interest in our research areas can make up for some lack of specific experience.
For more information, please email me with any questions.
To apply, please email me a CV or resume, copies of transcripts, a statement of research interests, and a list of references.
