About the group

Control is an important part of many new technology developments, from cell phones to modern aeroplanes. Ensuring closed-loop stability and the desired performance in the face of unknown disturbances, and of the uncertainty that comes from approximate mathematical models, is a vital goal of controller design.

The Control and Automation research group is part of the Department of Electrical Engineering.
