Welcome to Sayan's World

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Electronics and Communication Engineering Department of Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi. I am primarily an applied mathematician working on the broad domain of Nonlinear Control Theory and Dynamical Systems.  I deal with various aspects of Adaptive and Learning Controller design like Stability, Transient Response, Optimality and Robustness especially for Safety-Critical Dynamical Systems (such as autonomous robots, self-driving cars,  unmanned aerial vehicles etc.). Some of my works on Adaptive Control are closely related to Online Convex Optimization and Reinforcement Learning. Of late, I am attempting complex problems on Multi-Robot Coordination in the presence of uncertainty. The emphasis is on Distributed Controller design using concepts from Algebraic Graph Theory and Online Learning.  In future, I would love to explore Control Theoretic challenges in Differential Games,  Passivity-based Control techniques, Control of Soft Robots, Collaborative Autonomous Driving technology to mention a few.
