From January 2020, I will transition to the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. I welcome M.Sc. and Ph.D. applications from students with a strong background in mathematics (analysis, algebra, probability). I suggest you read some of my research papers to see whether the topics fit your background and motivations. If you are interested, please apply to UBC ECE graduate program.
My vision is to advance fundamental understanding of multi-agent decision-making in uncertain and dynamic environments. Towards this vision, I develop game theory, distributed control, stochastic and data-driven control. I address applications ranging from air traffic control and rescue/disaster response robotics to power grid systems. The following presentation summarises my research. ETH Inaugural Lecture, May 10, 2017.

At ETH I taught two Master's level courses: Linear System Theory and Game Theory. At UC Berkeley I helped in teaching the following courses: Hybrid Systems (Electrical Engineering), Nonlinear Control (Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering), Intermediate Dynamics (Mechanical Engineering), Calculus II (Mathematics).
