ARC Discovery Project DP200101303
Research: Analysis and design of networked control systems, whereby the plant and controller exchange information over a communication network. The goal is to exploit the structure of the network (e.g. multiple channels or protocols), plant (e.g. distributed or singularly-perturbed) and controller (e.g. distributed controller implementation) to achieve robust stability, estimation and tracking. Examples from intelligent traffic applications will be used to test the obtained control/estimation algorithms.

Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Group: Prof. Chris Manzie, A/Prof. Iman Shames, Prof. Dragan Nesic
ARC Linkage Project LP160100650 between Toyota Motor Company and The University of Melbourne
Research: Used optimisation tools to automate the calibration of model predictive controllers over engine drive cycles to achieve appropriate levels of performance. Developed theoretical results for online optimisation algorithms using zeroth-order oracles over Riemannian manifolds.
Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria (Mar 2014 - Jan 2015)
Research Assistant (Networked Control Systems)
Department of Electronic Engineering
Supervisors: Prof. Juan Yuz, Prof. Mario Salgado
Research: Developed theoretical results for linear time-invariant control systems that communicate through networks subject to multiple packet losses.
