My research focuses on resilient coordination of networked multi-agent systems under cyber-physical threats, event-triggered control, passivity-based analysis, and adaptive mitigation strategies. These contributions are grounded in rigorous Lyapunov analysis, and validated through extensive numerical simulations and experimental studies, advancing the security and resilience of distributed robotic systems operating in adversarial environments.
