Research interests

His research interests are in theoretical foundations for complex networks in engineering and biology, as well as multiscale physics, and include integrating modeling, ID, analysis and design of uncertain nonlinear systems, and computation in analysis and simulation, including complexity theory to guide algorithm development.

Research applications interests are motivated by the interplay between control, dynamical systems, and design and analysis of large, complex systems.
