I joined the IME department at FAMU-FSU college of engineering in August, 2018 as an assistant professor. I did my postdoc at UIUC and Georgia Tech with Prof. Langbort and Prof. Shamma, respectively, after earning my PhD in the EE department at University of Notre Dame under the advisement of Prof. Lemmon.

My research interests include:

Game Theory,

Control Theory,

Security of Cyber-Human-Physical systems,

Smart manufacturing,

& Large Scale Networked systems.

Security and Risk Control

Natural disasters, terrorists, hackers, competitors not following rules, and other factors are threatening our lives and properties. Sad news occasionally hit the headlines.

Look into these problems. We see interactions between at least two groups. To win the game, we need to get a better understanding of ourselves (e.g., vulnerabilities, unused resources), to learn the characteristic (e.g., objectives, available resources) of the others in the game, and then figure out the best step-by-step strategy to protect our people and society.

I started my exploration from game theory, and here is what I've found.

Resilient and Efficient Networked Systems

We are all different. Still, we get united in diversity.

We can share spare resources to resist extreme events like hurricanes.

We can help meet each other's needs by exchanging, e.g., power networks integrated with renewable energies.

We can coordinate with each other to fight against crimes, e.g. networked police resource allocation.

A united society is not simply connected. It is connected to be more resilient and more efficient.

I've just started my journey to find a way to build a united society. Also interested? Let us get united.

Efficient Manufacturing

Why can a person work 10 times faster than the other persons? For most of the time, it is because he uses a much more efficient tool. What is the potential tool that can greatly improve the efficiency? I vote for Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Imagine this. When you are building a laptop, ten robotic arms are imitating your actions. When you finished, you actually build eleven computers. The ten robotic arms are your helpers, and you work as a group.

The highly increased efficiency will greatly enhance the competence of a company, attract more orders, produce more jobs, and pay the smart working people better.

Now, let us sit back, and think carefully about how to realize it.
