Research

Control theory and its application to networks. I am currently focusing on Bio-inspired strategies to achieve robust synchronization of networks of autonomous agents communicating using wireless channels. Our algorithms aim to achieve fast synchronization while maintaining robustness with respect to network topology, channel variations, and internal disturbances. My past research focused on Process Control, Fuzzy Systems, and Mineral Processing.
