Johan earned his B.S. Degrees in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics from Christian Brothers University in 2001 and his M.S.ECE from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2004. He joined the Intelligent Control Systems Laboratory in 2003, and has been working on improving the autonomy of swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The main objective of his research is to apply optimal control techniques to enable a swarm of UAVs to effectively intercept multiple intelligent opponents. |
