PhD , Electrical Engineering: Systems , 2000 — 2006
Dissertation titled "On Diagnosis and Predictability of Partially-Observed Discrete-Event Systems". Developed monolithic and distributed diagnosis algorithms for modular dynamic systems modeled as sets of partially-observed place-bordered Petri nets. Developed theory on and algorithms for diagnosis of event patterns and prediction of event occurrences in partially-observed discrete event systems.
