Research

My research interests include robotics, signal processing, and sensing in the context of distributed estimation and control algorithms. I am interested in studying the behavior of distributed, iterative algorithms in random environments over dynamic communication networks. Relevant applications are sensor networks, power systems modeling and estimation, social learning, and cyber-physical systems.
