Research Interests

The research focus is on efficiency optimization in power generation and usage in intelligent and sustainable transportation systems. Aspects include transportation energy minimization through real time optimization with large gains in city and suburban driving. Emphasis is on networked electric drivetrains with situational awareness and some level of autonomy. Another effort focuses on infrastructural constraints for EV operation in cities. A research overview can be seen here.

Key Words
