Research Interests:

Topological methods in robust control, control of (biological) chaos, quantum control, control of noncommutative dynamics. Coarse geometry methods in networks: network curvature, Gromov-hyperbolic graphs, and application to routing, congestion, sensor network geographical localization, and autonomous agents
