Selected work
Projects
Research at the intersection of multi-robot coordination, aerial sensing, and autonomous decision-making.
Multi-UAV coverageCurrent research
Height-aware Coverage Control
Coverage control for aerial robots where altitude is a decision variable rather than a fixed setting. The central tradeoff is physical: flying higher expands a sensor’s footprint but can reduce measurement quality and spatial resolution.
- Coverage control
- Gaussian processes
- Altitude optimization
Swarm roboticsSimulation + hardware
HeRoSwarm Weighted Voronoi Coverage
Distributed coordination for robot teams using weighted Voronoi partitions, with safety enforced through barrier-certificate-based control. The project connects coverage theory with real multi-robot experiments.
- Voronoi methods
- Barrier certificates
- Distributed control

Cooperative Standoff Target Tracking
A Lyapunov-vector-field guidance approach for two unmanned aircraft to track a target at a desired standoff distance while maintaining separation and avoiding obstacles.
- Target tracking
- Collision avoidance
- Lyapunov guidance
