RESEARCH INTERESTS

Khammash's research interests are in the area of control theory and its applications to engineering and to biological systems. His theoretical work lies in the area of robustness analysis and synthesis of interconnected dynamic systems, where he has developed methodology for the analysis and design of robust control systems under persistent disturbances and model uncertainty. His work also focuses on using control theory for the quantitative analysis of networks of dynamically interacting biological components, with the goal of reverse engineering these networks to understand how they robustly achieve biological function. He is currently developing computational methods for the analysis of stochastic dynamics and their applications in the area of Systems Biology.
