Research Highlights

***New: USA Fulbright Research Grantee, France, 2024-25

I am pretty pumped up for this grant in the Hauts-de-France region. Several exciting news are on the way.

Research Interests 



You can check out my manuscripts at ResearchGate, arXiv, or Google Scholar.

Prof. Ozer's research, presented at the IEEE CDC 2023, significantly contributes to the overarching themes of decision making and automatic control. By sharing our findings on the global stage, my research group solidifies the importance of their model reduction and PDE techniques in shaping the future of systems and control of smart material systems.
