Evan Sharafuddin, a first-year electrical engineering PhD student, has been selected as the recipient of the Dwight E. and Jessica D. Ryland Graduate Fellowship for the 2025-26 academic year.

We have considerable expertise in MPC as a powerful tool for providing optimal control in dynamic environments, ensuring real-time performance and adaptability. Our work includes developing predictive ...

Control theory is the study of how one can use feedback to modify the behavior of a system — such as a robot, vehicle, chemical or biological process, power grid, stock portfolio, or an ecosystem — so ...

This course is an introduction to the foundations of nonlinear control theory, with an emphasis on feedback stabilization. As needed, topics from differential geometry and other mathematical ...

Welcome to the Dynamics and Control Systems Research Group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Santa Clara University. Our lab provides a stimulating environment for undergraduate and ...

Engineering principles developed only 150 years ago were found to have evolved first in biological circuitry that controls cell growth, according to new research. In the last 150 years, engineers have ...

The goal of controlling a system is to reach or retain stability. In control theory, stability is described with the Lyapunov stability criteria and mathematical models that set into relation the ...

Joseph Juran was a pioneer in the study of quality control. His management theory has gained worldwide recognition in the science, engineering and mathematics fields. His “Juran’s Quality Control ...

Control engineering is a multidisciplinary field that underpins modern automation and system regulation by applying mathematical models and feedback strategies to achieve desired performance in ...
