Academic Achievements
- Seeking two new PhD students interested in working on geometric control and estimation for multi-agent rigid body systems (MARBS). Applicants should have some knowledge and background in nonlinear control theory and should contact him directly by email before applying. These positions need to be filled by Fall 2026.
Research Experience
- Currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Syracuse University. Leads the Autonomous Unmanned Systems Laboratory (AUSL), focusing on developing technologies that increase the safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles and robots. Research areas include: (1) motion and relative motion estimation of autonomous unmanned aerial and ground vehicles, (2) data-enabled robust and stable control of single and multiple autonomous unmanned vehicles, (3) spacecraft guidance, navigation and control for Earth-orbiting and deep space missions.
Education
- Ph.D. (Aerospace Engineering, University of Michigan); MS (Mathematics, University of Michigan); MS (Aerospace Engineering, Texas A&M University); B. Tech. (Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur).
Background
- Research Interests: Geometric mechanics and its applications to robotics and control, geometric control of nonlinear systems, geometric observer design for nonlinear systems, guidance, navigation and control of aerospace vehicles, dynamics and control of autonomous vehicles. Specialization: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
