Panos Antsaklis

Panos Antsaklis is the Brosey Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame and also Concurrent Professor in the Departments of Computer Science and Engineering and of Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics. He is a graduate of the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, and holds MS and PhD degrees from Brown University. His research addresses problems of control and automation and examines ways to design control systems that will exhibit high degree of autonomy. His current research focuses on Cyber-Physical Systems and the interdisciplinary research area of control, computing and communication networks, and on hybrid and discrete event dynamical systems.

He has over 550 publications in journals, books and conference proceedings and he has co-authored two research monographs on discrete event systems, two graduate textbooks on Linear Systems and has co-edited six books on Intelligent Autonomous Control, Hybrid Systems and Networked Embedded Control Systems.

Authored the graduate textbooks:

• A Linear Systems Primer (Birkhauser/Springer 2007; with A.N. Michel).
• Linear Systems (McGraw-Hill 1997; with A.N. Michel).
• Linear Systems (Birkhauser/Springer 2005; with A.N. Michel).

Authored the research monographs:

• Supervisory Control of Discrete Event Systems using Petri Nets (Kluwer 1998; with J.O. Moody)
• Supervisory Control of Concurrent Systems: A Petri Net Structural Approach (Birkhauser 2006; with M.V. Iordache)
• Model-Based Control of Networked Systems (Birkhauser/Springer 2014; with E. Garcia and L. Montestruque)

“For fundamental contributions to hybrid control systems, supervisory control of discrete event systems, control of systems over networks and for leadership in the profession.”

• Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1991. Citation reads:

“For contributions to the theory of feedback stabilization and control of linear multivariable systems.”

He is the 2006 recipient of the Engineering Alumni Medal of Brown University, recipient of the IEEE Millennium Medal, and holds an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Lorraine in France.

He is the recipient of the 2013 Faculty Award of the University of Notre Dame. The Faculty Award was established in the 1927-28 academic year and singles out that faculty member, who, in the opinion of his or her colleagues has contributed outstanding services to the University.

He is the President of the Mediterranean Control Association, he has served as the Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board (Fachbeirat) of the Max-Planck-Institut fur Dynamik Komplexer Technischer Systeme, Magdeburg, Germany, as member of the President’s Council of Advisors for Science and Technology (PCAST) subcommittee on Networking and Information Technology. He delivered the Science Keynote Address at the 2012 NSF Cyber-Physical Systems PI Meeting. He has served as President of the IEEE Control Systems Society and since 2010 he has been the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control.
