I will be joining the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania as an Assistant Professor in July 2012. I received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I have also been a visiting scientist at UC Berkeley and Santa Fe Institute.

My main research interests lie in the modeling, analysis, control and optimization of dynamical processes and strategic interactions in large-scale complex networks, with applications in social networks, electric power distribution, multi-agent systems, and biological networks.

Note to prospective students: If you are interested in joining my research program as a PhD student or postdoctoral scholar, please feel free to send me an email with your CV attached.
