Research Interests
In September 2005 I began the Ph.D. program at the University of California, Santa Barbara in the area of Dynamic Systems, Control, and Robotics. My PhD advisor is Professor Francesco Bullo. My research interests are currently in developing algorithms for task allocation in groups of mobile autonomous robots. Prior to arriving at UCSB I completed my Masters at the University of Toronto.
- These are some slides summarizing my work on Monotonic Target Assignment.
- Lately I've focused on dynamic vehicle routing problems such as Dynamic Team Forming.
- To find out more about my research please see my list of publications.
