Research Interests

My Ph.D. and postdoctoral work has involved the technology of robotics-enabled optical communication, the theory of communication-constrained control, layered control of autonomous robots, robust optimal control, and sensor networks. My future research will build on the achieved successes, explore fundamental questions related to complexity, information, risks, and control, and target novel applications that will benefit the society at the same time.
