Biography

Vedang's research interests are in nonlinear and robust estimation and control of uncertain dynamic systems. His doctoral research focused on developing theoretical frameworks and algorithms for designing sparse sensing and actuation architectures with optimal instrument precisions. Prior to his doctoral studies, Vedang worked full-time in software verification and validation group at Honeywell Aerospace.

  Brief
  - MERL will present 10 papers at the American Control Conference (ACC) in San Diego, CA, with topics including autonomous-vehicle decision making and control, physics-informed machine learning, motion planning, control subject to nonconvex chance constraints, and optimal power management. Two talks are part of tutorial sessions.
    MERL will also be present at the conference as a sponsor, with a booth for discussing with researchers and students, and hosting a special session at lunch with highlights of MERL research and work philosophy.
