Research interests

I work broadly on game theory, optimal control, and dynamic games, with applications in the analysis and control of engineering, economic, and defense systems.

Current research areas:

  • Dynamic games with coupled and constrained decisions

  • Control and coordination of networked multi-agent and robotic systems

  • Data-driven and learning-based control

  • Game-theoretic control of autonomous systems with defense applications.
