My research interests include: Hamiltonian and Lagrangian mechanics, symplectic geometry, integrable systems (including the Toda lattice, the dispersionless Toda lattice, geodesic flows and rigid body dynamics), stability, nonholonomic systems (the motion of mechanical systems with nonintegrable constraints), the relationship between continuous and discrete flows, nonlinear control and optimal control. I study various other other topics in geometric mechanics and nonlinear dynamics including quantum dynamics and control and the dynamics of astrophysical systems.
