Research Interests
Control of uncertain complex systems: networked and embedded control systems, control of large-scale networks, distributed and cooperative control, unmanned vehicle systems and robotics, transportation systems.Bio
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the GRASP Laboratory at Penn, working under the supervision of George Pappas. I am also affiliated with the Penn Research in Embedded Computing and Integrated Systems Engineering PRECISE Center. I received my PhD in Aeronautics and Astronautics in September 2008 from MIT, where my advisors were Eric Feron, Munther Dahleh and Emilio Frazzoli. There I was affiliated with the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems.
I graduated from the Ecole Polytechnique in France in 2001, and I hold a MS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan (2003), where my research was concerned with the development of MEMS for RF communications. I also worked for one year as a software development engineer at Bosch in Paris, in the automotive engine control department.
