Research

My research centers around enabling efficient and safe decision-making in complex (manufacturing) systems. These techniques are backed by rigorous methodologies and validated through real-world experiments as well as computer simulations. These technical areas connect both to fundamental principles and applications in a variety of domains. For specific examples spanning this exciting spectrum, please see the publications below.
