Research Interests
Torbjørn Cunis is a system theorist with a background in control engineering, computer science, and aeronautics and astronautics. His research is focused on mathematically provable correctness for autonomous vehicles. In particular, he is interested in the connection between optimization and verification in dynamic nonlinear systems. His recent work includes sum-of-squares techniques for stability and reachability, stability in optimization-based control techniques, and dynamics of optimal control problems.
With the advance of artificial intelligence and increasing complexity in autonomous vehicles, Dr. Cunis is interested in the combination of machine learning techniques with system theory in order to obtain algebraic and/or probabilistic results for correctness.
