Publications are sorted by year, with papers submitted for publication separated, and category — journal papers, peer-reviewed conference papers, publications in other venues, and preprints — as well as my early PhD and MSc theses. Please click on the paper title for a PDF version and/or more details about the publication. Some of the published papers have significantly extended versions available on arXiv, noted below. For other papers, arXiv versions, if they exist, are usually preprints which cover largely the same material, but may differ in details.
Our work often results in development of software tools for planning, control, and optimization across domains. Please click on a paper below to see whether there exists associated code appropriate for public consumption. While we make an effort to make all our work well-documented, some of our produced software is necessarily incomplete or in early stages of development. For access to the entire repository of the LEADCAT group, including unfinished work, please go to the LEADCAT GitHub.
