UA Engineering’s Ricardo Sanfelice Wins Global Award for Control Systems Modeling
By Karina Barrentine - June 17, 2013, 8:10 pm

The University of Arizona’s Ricardo Sanfelice recently won an award that puts him among the best in the world when it comes to the highly analytical and mathematical design of control systems, which bring together disparate aspects of a system and make them work together.

Sanfelice, an assistant professor in the UA College of Engineering’s aerospace and mechanical engineering department, received the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics award for his contributions to the design of hybrid dynamical feedback controllers. His research is centered on smart grids and renewable energy and unmanned aircraft and vehicles.

The SIAM Activity Group on Control and Systems Theory prize is awarded every two years to a junior researcher across the globe. Sanfelice will receive the award in July 2013 in San Diego during the biennial SIAM Conference on Co ...... (read more)
