Research

I am a PhD Student at the Automatic Control Department, within the Wallenberg Autonomous Systems Program, WASP under the supervision of Professor Bo Wahlberg. My work here is focused on autonomous vehicle systems from a control perspective. My particular research interests include cooperative control, optimization, flight control, and more.
