Research interests

My research combines adaptive control, learning-based control, and system identification to enable safe, high-performance decision-making in uncertain dynamical systems. Applications include hypersonic flight, UAV autonomy, vibration suppression, and quantum control. My group develops theory grounded in real-time experimentation and high-fidelity modeling.
