theory, switched and hybrid dynamical systems, control with limited information, and uncertain and stochastic systems. He is the author of the books "Switching in Systems and Control" (Birkhauser, 2003) and "Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control Theory: A Concise Introduction" (Princeton Univ. Press, 2012). He is also an editor for ''Automatica'', where he specializes in an area of nonlinear systems and control. He delivered a plenary lecture at the 2008 American Control Conference.
