Synchronization in networks of nonlinear and hybrid systems
Stability and robustness analysis for hybrid dynamical systems
Short Biography
Sean Phillips is a graduate student in the Department of Computer Engineering at the University of California Santa Cruz. He received his B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Arizona in 2011 and continued to get his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering specializing in Dynamics and Controls in 2013. He started working with Dr. Sanfelice during his undergraduate where he helped set up the new Hybrid Dynamics and Controls Laboratory and had received a NASA Space Grant to work on a biological based path planning algorithm for micro air vehicles. During his graduate student career, he has been interested in using hybrid systems tools to develop stability results of synchronization and desynchronization in networks of impulsive coupled oscillators. ~CV
