Research

Research interests are in synthesis, design, and control of electro-hydraulic, electromechanical, and electro-magnetic systems, tracking control and disturbance rejection, nonlinear and time-varying control, mechatronics, fluid power and the applications to automotive propulsion systems. Recent research work includes novel time-varying control methodologies for rotational-angle based systems, developing key enabling technologies for clean, efficient and multi-fuel capable automotive powertrain, such as camless engine, precise pressure regulation for common-rail systems, modeling and control of efficient transmission systems, and various advanced hybrid concepts.
