Research
My group's research is in the application of feedback and control to networked systems, with applications in biology and autonomy. Current projects include work on biomolecular feedback systems, novel architectures for control systems, and networked control systems (see my research overview for more details).
Active projects:
- Actuation of Synthetic Cells Via Proto-Flagellar Motors (NSF)
- An Open Synthetic Biology Toolkit for Engineering Reliable Genetic Circuits in Microbes in Soil (Resnick Sustainability Institute)
- Engineering Replication-, Growth-, and Division-Deficient E. coli for Safe, Stable and Efficient Function (Rosen Center for Bioengineering)
- Design of Digitally Controlled Bacterial Circuits for Bioenabled Materials (Army Research Lab/Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies)
- Assurance for Learning Enabled Systems (DARPA)
- Formal Methods for V&V and T&E of Autonomous Systems (AFOSR)
- Developing Standardized Cell-Free Platforms for Rapid Prototyping of Synthetic Biology Circuits and Pathways (NSF)
- Engineering Durable Cell-Free Biological Capabilities for Advanced Sensing and Prototyping (Army Research Office)
- Enabling Technologies for Cell-Silicon Interfacing (Army Research Office)
- Fundamental Biological Factors Underlying Human Performance: From Molecular Diagnostics and Detection to Behavior and Systems Biology (Army Research Office)
- Field-Programmable, Recombinase-Based Biomolecular Circuits (Army Research Office)
- Robust Multi-Layer Control Systems for Cooperative Cellular Behaviors (DARPA)
- VeHICaL: Verified Human Interfaces, Control, and Learning for Semi-Autonomous Systems (NSF)
