This research pioneers formal combined plant and controller optimization (termed ``co-design") schemes for complex systems where accurate but expensive experiments are fused with cheap but less accurate numerical simulations. This fusion of experi...
Wind energy represents a leading renewable resource for the production of clean and sustainable electricity for on- and off-grid networks. Nevertheless, tower and foundation costs, which typically represent about 30 percent of the total installati...
The overarching objective of this research is to use machine learning tools to address the design and real-time control of active systems, focusing specifically by tethered airborne wind energy and ocean current energy systems. In both application...
