I'm currently a visiting researcher in Prof. Jianqi Chen's group at Nanjing University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
My research focuses on graphical stability analysis of large-scale dynamical netweorks, particularly communication networks. More specifically, I look into tools grounded in both classical and emerging robust control theory, tailor them to incorporate scalability so that they can be exploited to provide nonconservative theoretical guarantees for robust stability / instability of large-scale networks.
More broadly, I'm interested in matrix theory, spectral graph theory, and control theory.
