Specialized Area


Research Interest

  • Nonlinear control systems: developing tools for design and analysis of nonlinear robust (continuous-time, discrete-time and sampled-data) control systems: Lyapunov stability theory and its extensions, Lyapunov and dissipativity based design, observer design, small gain theory, discrete-time stabilization of Hamiltonian systems, Hammerstein systems and other classes of nonlinear systems.

  • Signal processing and condition monitoring: developing signal processing tools for nonlinear and nonstationary
    signals analysis, particularly for signals with low frequency components and its applications to power systems signal analysis, structure monitoring and health monitoring.

  • Embedded Systems and Robotics: embedded system design for control and monitoring applications, applying
    robotics and control technology in health rehabilitation, such as for stroke rehabilitation and tremor suppression, in industrial applications such as for materials handling and in control engineering education.

  • Nonlinear system identification: developing algorithm for set based parameter identification for nonlinear systems, based on dynamic programming, in particular applied to biochemical processes; and nonlinear identification tools based on Hilbert transform to obtain the damping characterization of nonlinear and nonstationary signals or systems for use in analysis and control design applications.

  • Engineering applications: applying theoretical results to real life engineering applications, particularly to mechanical and electro-mechanical systems, smart farming, biomedical engineering and biological systems,
    automotive (including engine control and emission reduction), power systems and energy applications.
