I am currently a Professor at Systems and Control Engg., IIT Bombay. I run the Laboratory for Aero-Mechanical Autonomy (LAMA)
My current areas of interest are decentralized control, cooperative and network control, optimal control, formation flight and consensus applied to Aerial and Space Robotics.
I am interested in nonlinear control theory for space and cooperative systems applications. We have and continue to make key contributions in line of sight based spacecraft synchronization, estimation of convergence rate to consensus, design of sparse optimal controllers, event-triggered and biased-feedback consensus, opinion dynamics in social systems and attitude constrained control for quadrotors. We are also interested in developing hardware capabilities for control implementation in quadrotor like platforms. A few career highlights:
November 2021 - Elevated to AIAA Senior Membership
November 2020-23 - Associate Editor, IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems
June 2018-2021 - Member, IEEE Conference Editorial Board
March 2019 -2023 - Associate Editor and IPC Member, Indian Control Conference
Since 2017 - Associate Editor, American Control Conference (ACC) and Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)
2015-16, 2017-19, 2021-22 - Excellent Reviewer for the year, AIAA Journal of Guidance, Control and Dynamics.
April 2015 – July 2018 - Max Planck Mobility Fellowship, IGSTC and Max Planck Institute (Germany)
September 2010 - May 2011, Homer Lindsay Bruce Endowed Graduate Fellowship, The University of Texas at Austin
