Research
Major research interest lie in the field of dynamic systems and control with an emphasis in smart materials. Current projects include the utilization of smart structures in the next generation of active antenna, and the development of control techniques for the control of mechatronic systems. For a current list of projects and laboratory activities connect to the Intelligent Structures and Systems Laboratory Site.
