CSOIS

My masters degree provided me the opportunity to spend a few years at the Center for Self Organising and Intelligent Systems (CSOIS). The following list provides a condensed snapshot of my work there.

• I worked as a graduate research assistant in the Plasma Physics Lab and the CSOIS at USU.

• My masters thesis was primarily focused on fractional order control systems, with the major focus being plasma position control for the USU Tokamak.

  • Useful links : What is a Tokamak?

• My other projects included, application of fractional order proportional and integral (FOPI) controllers on the USU Smart Wheel, delay dynamics for the same and also a scheme of fractional order universal adaptive stabilization (FO-UAS). For details please refer to the publications below.

  • Useful links : The Smart Wheel (Previous Papers)

• Previously I convened the Applied Fractional Calculus (AFC) literature reading group's meeting on Fractional Order Calculus (FOC)

• My M.Sc. advisor at the ECE Dept., USU was Dr. YangQuan Chen | AFC pages

Code developed:

• Developed code for the Mittag - Leffler function which was used for obtaining the results for the FO-UAS paper (2008 IEEE/ASME - MESA) : Local Link | MATLAB Central
