Describe your research in about 200 words.

My research interests are in control and optimization, machine learning, and cyber-physical systems (CPS). Recent decades have witnessed the exponential growth of CPS and their safety-critical applications, which have great potential to transform the way we live and work. Due to the complex behavior of CPS, it is challenging to operate CPS under various uncertainties. I am especially interested in enabling the safe operation of CPS with large uncertainties, such as CPS attacks, unforeseen environments, and faulty models, by integrating resilient estimation, machine learning, and robust adaptive control.
