Monique Chyba

Monique Chyba is a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA. Her research focuses on geometric methods for optimal control problems, particularly analyzing singular extremals and their role in nonlinear control systems. She emphasizes applications in autonomous underwater vehicle motion planning, leveraging differential geometry and Lie algebra structures in mechanical systems.

Her work bridges theoretical foundations with practical engineering challenges, addressing time-optimal control strategies and the structure of vector fields in controlled systems. Recent publications explore machine learning applications, federated learning optimization, wave control theory, and neural ODE-based classification.
