Introduction

My research focuses mainly on the analysis and control of nonlinear and linear parameter-varying systems. I am currently working on learning-based control methods that provide stability, reliability as well as safety guarantees during operation. These methods are developed mainly for industrial applications and intelligent robotic systems.
