Research summary

Shivam Bajaj works on control theory and robotics, with a focus on how autonomous vehicles and multi-agent systems can plan trajectories, defend territory, or make decisions in competitive or uncertain settings. Much of the work involves mathematical analysis of pursuit-evasion games, perimeter defense strategies, and optimal control problems, as well as data-driven methods for learning control policies in linear systems. This research is largely theoretical, using tools from optimization, game theory, and control systems to establish guarantees about vehicle or system behavior.

Publication output has grown from essentially none in the late 2010s to a steady pace of 3-5 publications per year since 2023, indicating an active and slightly increasing research output in recent years.
