News & Updates

  • 2021: I am in charge of organizing NecSys 22, a conference that I have always been very fond of.

Research

My general research interests are centered around system theory, control, and optimization in complex, cyber-physical, and network systems primarily with applications to power systems.

Topics of recent interest include

  • data-driven control,

  • control in low-inertia power systems,

  • social network dynamics and formation, and

  • feedback control via online optimization.

An updated list of publications, preprints, and technical reports can be found here or on Google Scholar.

Below are some indicative slides and online talks summarizing our work. Take a look here for tutorial slides and here for further research presentations.
