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:
- Genetic Circuits for Multi-Cellular Machines (Army Research Lab/Institute for Collaborative Biotechnology)
- Safety-Critical Autonomy and Verification for Space Missions (JPL)
- Robust Multi-Layer Control Systems for Cooperative Cellular Behaviors (DARPA)
- Rapid, Reliable and Repeatable Platforms for Cell-Free Prototyping (Synvitrobio)
- VeHICaL: Verified Human Interfaces, Control, and Learning for Semi-Autonomous Systems (NSF)
- Temporal Logic Specifications for Control System Design in Automotive Systems (DENSO)
- Establishing microfluidic cell-free systems for the rapid prototyping of synthetic genetic networks (Human Frontiers Science Program)
- Biomolecular Circuits for Rapid Detection and Response to Environmental Events (Army Research Office)
- Theory-Based Engineering of Biomolecular Circuits in Living Cells (Air Force Office of Scientific Research)
- Molecular Programming Architectures, Abstractions, Algorithms, and Applications (NSF)
