I am currently a Junior Research Fellow at [http://www.sjc.ox.ac.uk St. John’s College], University of Oxford. Recently I completed my DPhil (PhD) in [http://www.eng.ox.ac.uk Department of Engineering Science] at Oxford where I was a member of Christ Church (college). My research was carried out under the supervision of [http://sysos.eng.ox.ac.uk/control/sysos/index.php/User:Antonis Dr. Antonis Papachristodoulou] in the control group. My thesis focused on developing scalable methods based on convex optimization and polynomial programming for analysing the stability and performance of large-scale dynamical systems. Before joining the Department of Engineering Science I spent a year at the LSI Doctoral Training Centre. From 2006-07 I was a research assistant in the School of Systems Engineering at the University of Reading where I obtained the BSc and MSc degrees in 2005 and ’06 respectively.

I'm a D.Phil student in the [http://www.eng.ox.ac.uk Department of Engineering Science] at the University of Oxford, carrying out research in the Control Group. I am also a member of Christ Church (college) and the current GCR Secretary. Before coming to Oxford I completed a B.Sc in Computer Engineering and M.Sc in Cybernetics at the University of Reading. After completing the M.Sc I worked as a research assistant in the Cybernetics department investigating trajectory optimization techniques for the Multiple Gravity Assist (MGA) problem when considering deep space manoeuvres. This project was carried out in conjunction with the University of Glasgow and the Advanced Concepts Team from the European Space Agency (ESA).

** Please note that I have moved to Caltech. My email address is james *at* caltech *dot* edu and my new website is here.**

Background

I am currently a Junior Research Fellow at St. John’s College, University of Oxford. Recently I completed my DPhil (PhD) in Department of Engineering Science at Oxford where I was a member of Christ Church (college). My research was carried out under the supervision of Dr. Antonis Papachristodoulou in the control group. My thesis focused on developing scalable methods based on convex optimization and polynomial programming for analysing the stability and performance of large-scale dynamical systems. Before joining the Department of Engineering Science I spent a year at the LSI Doctoral Training Centre. From 2006-07 I was a research assistant in the School of Systems Engineering at the University of Reading where I obtained the BSc and MSc degrees in 2005 and ’06 respectively.

Research Interests

  • Nonlinear dynamical systems analysis based on Lyapunov techniques
  • Robust control
  • Large-scale systems
