Research Interests

My research is in high-confidence network control. My group designs and implements network control algorithms for infrastructure systems, with the emphasis on survivability in uncertain and adversarial conditions. Specifically, we focus on monitoring and control of energy, transportation, and water distribution infrastructures. Main projects include:

• Robust infrastructure diagnostics and control
• Incentive mechanisms for network security and reliability
• Testbed for networked control systems
