I am an associate professor in the Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at Boise State University, directing the Robot Control Laboratory (RCL). I hold a Ph.D. (2014) in Electical Engineering and M.Sc. (2013) in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Dallas (USA) and a M.Sc. (2010) and B.Sc. (2008) in Mechatronics Engineering from Sabanci University. I have been a postdoctoral associate at the PRISMA Lab of University of Naples Federico II, in Naples, Italy (2015) and the Robot Locomotion Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA (2016).
My research interests are in robotics, nonlinear control, and machine learning. They encompass motion planning, convex optimization, optimal control, reinforcement learning, geometric mechanics and control, multi-agent cooperative and non-cooperative control, aerial vehicles, and control of robots in contact with the environment and/or humans. I am particularly interested in the difficult problems in robotics where general computational algorithms can find elegant solutions, and in problems where taking advantage of the natural dynamics of the robot yield dramatically improved performance.
