Congratulations to my PhD student Alena Rodionova for winning the best student paper award at CDC 2021 IEEE Control Systems Society

9/10 Dr soon! It felt incredible to present my PhD proposal in front of my committee, collaborators and friends! Thank you everyone for showing up and listening to me for 1.5 hours! 😎 I am proud of what I have accomplished so far and excited to see what is coming next!

I cannot believe this.... Terrifying and heartbreaking. Innocent people suffering from the decisions made by small men. I feel ashamed and scared. NO TO WAR.

I am Russian and #IStandWithUkraine 🇺🇦🕊 #NoToWar

One more degree of freedom - enabled.

Today, I presented our recent work on "Temporal Robustness of Stochastic Signals" at hscc-conference where we analyze the robustness of systems in the presence of timing uncertainties. Work with Alëna Rodionova George Pappas Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2202.02583 Talk: youtu.be/lhwJOQMJy0k

Our paper entitled "Temporal Robustness of Temporal Logic Specifications: Analysis and Control Design" with Lars Lindemann, Manfred Morari and George Pappas has been published in TECS! You can find the "just accepted" version of the paper here: lnkd.in/dUbimnfx

Our journal paper on "Combined Left and Right Temporal Robustness for Control under STL Specifications" co-authored with Lars Lindemann , Manfred Morari and George Pappas is accepted to appear in IEEE Control System Letters (IEEE Control Systems Society)! ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/99038…

Baby-steps but still a milestone 😎

Dr. Alëna Rodionova :) Thank you everyone who came to listen to me talk today, and thank you everyone who was there for me for all these years. This journey would be impossible without my parents, family, friends, amazing colleagues and wonderful advisors! 🥳Q.E.D.
