I develop novel engineering methods and advanced mathematical tools for investigating large-scale multi-agent systems and ensemble systems. Applications include autonomous and self-driving vehicles, unmanned aircrafts, sensor-actuator networks, social networks, and energy networks. I address questions about designing control laws that organize the multi-agent systems for achieving global objectives, questions about controlling and stabilizing multi-agent systems under the constraint that agents can only access local informations, questions about improving/fixing the robustness issues under perturbations and/or malicious attacks, and questions about optimal allocation of resources—such as power supply, sensor bandwidth, computational capacity��for maximizing performance measures and/or minimizing costs.
