Research interests

I am interested in dynamic systems, most particularly, the modeling, simulation, and control of dynamic systems. I am also interested in the related problem of sensor fusion, particularly the problem of combining all known information about a system (its dynamics, its sensor dynamics, knowledge of its environment, etc.) to optimally estimate its states. I am most interested in these areas in the context of real world robotics applications.

I am also interested in using computer graphics to solve problems, particularly to enhance the analysis, comprehension, and communication of complex data.
