Research Interests

My general area of expertise is Systems and Control Engineering. I am a member of the Systems Laboratory in the EECS Department and also a member of the University of Michigan's Controls Group in the College of Engineering.
My research interests are in Discrete Event Systems (DES), including modeling, analysis, supervisory control, optimal control, and diagnosis of this class of dynamical systems. I am also working on applications of DES in computer and communication systems.
For further information about Discrete Event Systems please consult the website of the IEEE Technical Committee on Discrete Event Systems

Please consult the Discrete Event Systems Group (UMDES) website for further information about my research activities (including publications and software tools).
I am a participant in the Gadara project, whose objective is to eliminate faults in software using control techniques from the field of DES.
I am a articipant in the project Modular Strategies for Internetwork Monitoring
