NEIL K

In his graduate work, Neil's research interests were centered on designing distributed controllers for complex large-scale systems. Due to their scale, complex dynamics, and constraints on communication, centralized controllers are often infeasible for large distributed systems, such as the smart grid or formations of self-driving cars. Distributed control strategies make control of such systems possible by using controllers composed of separate independent entities. Neil's work focused on identifying tractable approaches and developing computationally efficient methods for designing distributed controllers.
