Mentors
Dr. Arpita Sinha
Dr. Arpita Sinha is a Professor of Department of Systems and Control Engineering at IITB - Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.
Arpita is a Postdoctoral Fellow from Cranfield University, UK; Ph.D., from Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. Prior to her doctoral work she studied M. Tech. at Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur and B.E. at Department of Electrical Engineering, Jadavpur University, Kolkata.
She has vast knowledge and expertise in Cooperative control behaviour, Distributed multi-vehicle system, Decentralized control and Multi-satellite formation flying. Broadly her research interests are Motion planning of autonomous vehicles, Multi-robot coordination and Swarm robotics.
Her research primarily lies at the intersection of robotics and control systems where the focus is on wheeled robots, drones, and mobile manipulators. Some of the applications I am working on are exploration, mapping, patrolling, reconfigurable formation, and service robots.
Dr. Aleksandar Stevanovic
Dr. Stevanovic is an Associate Professor of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh.
He is an ASCE Fellow and Fulbright Specialist for Traffic Control systems. He has earned B.Sc. in Traffic and Transportation Engineering at University of Belgrade (Serbia) followed by M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering at University of Utah.
He teaches courses in traffic engineering, transportation planning, and operations research and conducts research in a variety of subjects including traffic signal control systems, intelligent transportation systems, multimodal and sustainable operations, transportation simulation modeling, etc. He has advised more than 30 graduate students (MSc and PhD) and five post-doctoral associates.
He has published more than 150 journal and conference papers and presented at more than 100 international, national, and state seminars and professional meetings. He has been principal investigator on many research projects for a total of ~ $4.5 million in funding, and has authored more than 35 technical reports for various transportation agencies, including TRB/NAS, NSF, DOE, UDOT, UTA, FLDOT, NJDOT, and others.
He is also member of ITE, TRB, and other professional transportation societies. Dr. Stevanovic serves as a paper reviewer for more than 50 scientific journals and conference proceedings.
Although Dr. Stevanovic's main research interests emphasize arterial operations and traffic signal control, he is best known for his contributions in Adaptive Traffic Control Systems (ATCS). He is a sole author of the NCHRP 403 Synthesis Study – Adaptive Traffic Control Systems: Domestic and Foreign State of Practice and has been invited many times to give talks and teach about ATCSs both nationally and internationally. His research has been highlighted in a range of media articles - from local newspapers to the TIME magazine.
