Develops revolutionary methods for analysis and control of large-scale multi-agent systems
Research
Xudong Chen's research interests are in the area of control theory, decision theory, dynamical systems, stochastic processes, and network science. Chen's group develops advanced mathematical tools and novel engineering methods to tackle emerging challenges in large-scale multi-agent systems, and establishes revolutionary approaches for control of these systems. Multi-agent systems are ubiquitous in science and engineering. Applications of Chen’s research range from quantum systems, smart material, neuroscience, social science, to robotics, drones and spacecrafts.
