Professor Antonis Papachristodoulou MA MEng PhD

Statutory Chair in Control Engineering, University of Oxford

 

Biographical Sketch


I joined the University of Oxford in 2006, where I am currently the Statutory Chair in Control Engineering and a Fellow of Kellogg College. I was previously a tutorial fellow at Worcester College, EPSRC Fellow and Director of the EPSRC & BBSRC Centre for Doctoral training in Synthetic Biology.

I obtained an MA/MEng degree in Electrical and Information Sciences from the University of Cambridge, U.K., as a member of Robinson College in 2000. In 2005 I completed a PhD in Control and Dynamical Systems at the California Institute of Technology, with a PhD Minor in Aeronautics. 

My thesis was on "Scalable Analysis of Nonlinear Systems Using Convex Optimization". In 2005 I held a short David Crighton Fellowship at the University of Cambridge and a postdoctoral fellowship at the California Institute of Technology. In 2015 I was awarded the European Control Award for my contributions to robustness analysis and applications to networked control systems and systems biology and the O. Hugo Schuck Best Paper Award. 

I am an IEEE Fellow for my contributions to the analysis and design of networked control systems. I serve regularly on Technical Programme Committees for conferences and was associate editor for Automatica and IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control.

I serve as Programme co-chair for the 2024 European Control Conference and co-chair for the 2024 Learning for Decision and Control.

Exciting ventures starting in 2024 are the EEBio Programme Grant [1] and the UK Control Network.
