Learning-based predictive control; uncertainty quantification; plasma processing; manufacturing systems
Our interdisciplinary research lies at the intersection of optimal control theory, machine learning, applied mathematics, and their application to analysis and control of complex chemical and biomolecular systems. In particular, we are interested in developing computational methods and control theory that enable learning, analysis, and predictive control of uncertain systems. We employ these methods to facilitate high-performance control of systems spanning from (bio)molecular processes to manufacturing systems.
