Satadru Dey’s research focuses on several applications related to energy and transportation infrastructure in smart cities. Some of these applications include:

• Safety and security of battery systems
• Fast charging of batteries
• Health diagnostics of supercapacitors
• Second-life batteries and supercapacitors
• Secure connected and autonomous transportation
• Traffic management of freeways
• Socio-technical modeling of transportation systems

We design algorithms combining physics-based models, data-driven learning techniques, and systems and control theoretic tools for these applications. These algorithms generally perform one or more of the following tasks:

• Estimate unknown quantities of interest such as battery health and traffic density.
• Diagnose anomalies such as battery internal faults and cyber-attacks on vehicles.
• Control to achieve desired objectives such as battery thermal management and traffic capacity maximization.
