Research interests Publications

Research interests

My research interests span various topics in systems and control engineering. From an application point of view, I am interested in designing intelligent control algorithms for autonomous vehicles, power systems, DC grids, district heating systems, and medical devices. From a theoretical point of view, I am interested in feedback optimization, observer design, stability and control, nonlinear and hybrid (switched and impulsive) systems, dissipativity and passivity analysis, robust control, LPV systems and LMIs, and time-delay systems.
