Current Research Areas

Privacy in control systems

This research thread is developing new theoretical tools to provide privacy to the types of data that are generated and used by decision-making in control systems.

Computationally constrained autonomy

This work is developing new autonomy strategies for computationally constrained systems, with an emphasis on mobile autonomous platforms.

Communication-denied autonomy

This research is developing safe, high-performance decision algorithms for multi-agent systems in which communicating is not possible.

Deceptive decision-making

This work is producing decision algorithms that accomplish control objectives and mislead observers about what those objectives are.

Non-convex optimization

This work is developing new algorithms for non-convex optimization with guaranteed robustness and convergence properties.

Applied category theory

This work is using tools from category theory to develop and characterize new optimization algorithms and control designs.
