Underwater Glider Dynamics and Control

Abstract : My long-term goal is to help improve versatility of underwater gliders as individual or networked platforms for ocean sampling and other applications by contributing to the development of a methodology for designing and analyzing high-performance, cost-effective underwater glider controllers.
