About us Practical matters How to find us S. (Saeed) Ahmed, PhD

Research interests

My research interests span various topics in systems and control engineering. From an application point of view, I am interested in designing intelligent control algorithms for autonomous vehicles, power systems, DC grids, district heating systems, and medical devices. From a theoretical point of view, I am interested in feedback optimization, observer design, stability and control, nonlinear and hybrid (switched and impulsive) systems, dissipativity and passivity analysis, robust control, LPV systems and LMIs, and time-delay systems.
