Subject

My research interests are centered around systems and control theory with a focus on quantum algorithms and data-driven control. In quantum algorithms, I am using systems and control theory to better understand questions of robustness, optimization, and machine learning, but I am also studying the converse direction of how to use quantum computers in control. In data-driven control, I am developing methods with rigorous stability and robustness guarantees to design safe controllers with high performance as required for complex control applications.
