 I'm a lecturer in Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Monash University. 
My research interests include model predictive control (MPC) theory and application,
autonomous miniature flyers, semi-infinite optimization problems, real-time system design
and software/hardware implementation, autonomous unmanned systems (UAVs, UGVs, and UUVs),
rotorcraft dynamics, and robotics.  I've worked in BErkeley AeRobot (BEAR) project from 2000 to 2009.
