My research interests are Control theories and their applications in dynamic systems, Intelligent Transportation System(ITS), Advanced Vehicle Control System(AVCS). Vehicle Dynamics and Control. You are welcome to visit the website of our research AVCS.

My current work is focussed on vehicle motion control in the context of Intelligent Vehicle Platoons. The purpose of this research is to study the fundamental modeling and control issues related to automatic lateral control problem. We hope to provide an implementable coordinated steering and braking control which has good performance in both tracking and emergency scenarios. This work is sponsored by Dr. Roland Ruhl of Ruhl Forensic Company. I highly appreciate his nice sponsorship.
