Research and Current Projects

My work is at the intersection of control theory and machine learning. My application area is in biology where I work on naturally occurring and engineered microbial consortia. My theoretical work remains in the area of adaptive control with more recent work focused on statistical inference (with Georg Gerber). I have ongoing projects in the following areas

  • Statistical learning applied to microbial dynamics (Bayesian nonparametrics, layered latent state-space models)

  • Genetically engineering and controlling a microbial consortia

  • Theoretical foundations at the intersection of machine learning and control

  • Microbiome remodeling via phage therapy

Selected Publications: (Google Scholar)

  • Universality of human microbial dynamics
