Research Areas

My work focuses on developing mathematically rigorous guidance and control strategies for autonomous systems, with provable safety and convergence guarantees.

Path Following Guidance

Nonlinear guidance laws for UAVs to follow arbitrary 3D paths with bounded control inputs, under wind disturbances and model uncertainties.

Trajectory Tracking & Safety-Critical Control

Exact-time and finite-time convergent tracking for quadrotors and surface vessels, with barrier-function guarantees that keep states inside safe regions.

Explore →

Cooperative Pursuit-Evasion

Multi-agent nonlinear guidance strategies for cooperative pursuit-evasion scenarios with guaranteed capture and evasion conditions.

Explore →

Interceptor Guidance & Control

Impact-time and impact-angle constrained guidance laws, including exact-time convergent strategies against moving and stationary targets.

Explore →

Admissibility-Preserving Control

Dynamic input realizations that keep actuator inputs inside asymmetric, rate, and joint capacity limits by construction, with backstepping-based tracking guarantees.

Explore →

Cooperative Aerial Manipulation

Multi-UAV cooperative strategies for manipulation and load transport, combining formation control with geometric guidance principles.
