Research Interests

My research interests include the modeling, analysis, and design of high-performance cyber-physical systems that ensure safety while operating under computational constraints. My research interests also include the modeling, analysis, and design of active detection techniques and response mechanisms for ensuring resilient and secure cyber-physical systems.
