  • Dr. Anuj K. Tiwari received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Washington Seattle in 2022, and B.Tech. from IIT Guwahati in 2017. He worked as a Postdoctoral Scholar from Dec 2022 to June 2023 in the Boeing Advanced Research Center at UW. He joined IIT Madras as an Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering in July 2023.
  • He works in mechatronics and controls, smart manufacturing, network dynamics, and advanced mobility systems. His current research focus is on distributed control of networked multi-agent systems, with a particular emphasis on cohesive network transitions, where each agent in the network moves similarly. His research includes theoretical developments for consensus and synchronization of higher-order agents in presence of delays, and applications to cohesion in connected vehicles, and advanced composite prototyping and flexible manufacturing.

  • My research in swarm networks aims to develop models to explain cohesive maneuvers observed in natural swarming systems, such as parallel turning maneuvers in starling flocks, and to use those models for control of engineered multi-agent networks in robotics and transportation.
