SUPELÉC

Supeléc
The automatic control research at Supélec (École supérieure d'électricité) involves 33 teacher-researchers (including 16 accredited to supervise research), 55 PhD and postdoctoral students. The activity of the three teams covers much of the thematic fields. However, four research themes emerge as strong points: “Robust control”, “'Non-linear Control”, “Predictive control” and “Modeling and control of hybrid systems”. Convex optimizations and control of hybrid or non-linear uncertain systems under constraints and subject to disturbances are at the heart of the research problem. A particular attention is devoted to the robustness towards the uncertainties of embedded non linear systems.
