Research Groups

Theoretical foundations of mixed human-automata teams with emphasis on models for human decision-making, design of decision support systems, and design of policies for automata that leverage human input

Networked multi-agent systems with emphasis on collective decision-making in social networks, leadership and centrality measures, robotic search and surveillance problems

Our current research interests are the structure, dynamics, and mechanics of soft materials under complex external envrionment and under external perturbation. Specific topics are of great interest are (i) the surface and interface phenomena, including polymer nanocomposites and polymer-polymer adhesion in additive manufacturing; (ii) Polymers under strong electric field; (iii) Continuous gas transport phenomena in polymer membranes.
