About

I received the M.Eng and Ph.D degrees in 2009 and 2014 respectively, both from the University of Cambridge. After a brief spell as an Affiliated Lecturer in Cambridge, I joined the Department of Automatic Control in Lund, where I am currently a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor).

My research focus is on control system design for electrical power systems and autonomous vehicles. My vision is to build a modular theory of control system design that can be used to address the requirements of future large-scale interconnected systems.
