Welcome to the COSMOS Lab

Our mission at the COSMOS lab is to study the global effect of short range communication and information exchange in complex networks. Beginning with early studies on swarms and flocks, ‘complex systems’ have captured the imagination of researchers – biologists, social scientists, computer scientists, even control engineers. At the heart of this problem is the idea of decentralized control, where a whole group optimizes some global objectives wihout centralized command. These studies have implications in areas as diverse as marketing, homeland security, transportation, economics, to name a few. At the COSMOS lab, we focus on the following applications:

Our Research Areas Include:

• Socio-Cultural Opinion Dynamics
• Connected Vehicles
• Egress and Evacuation
• Inverse Reinforcement Learning
