The team looks for perspective PhD students in the topics related with the principal domains of our research: robust accelerated control and estimation for networked and distributed dynamical systems subject to communication constraints and to possible reconfigurations of the model. Candidates with background in (applied) mathematics are appreciated, which are initially familiar with the area, with sufficient level of autonomy and good communication skills.
