Tutorial: Graph Theory in Systems and Controls (Prof. Daniel Zelazo)

Speaker

Daniel Zelazo (Associate Professor, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology)

Time & Location

Feb. 12 (Tue) 14:00 – 16:00 / Building 133 Room 204

Abstract

This tutorial aims to explore the role of graph theory for studying networked and multi-agent systems. The talk will cover basic concepts from graph theory along with surveying its role in problems related to cooperative control and distributed decision-making. Finally, we will also introduce some advanced topics from graph theory in the hope of encouraging further discussion and explore new research opportunities in system and control theory.

Biography

Daniel Zelazo was born in Milwaukee, WI, in 1977. He received the B.Sc. and M.Eng. degrees in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, in 1999 and 2001, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in aeronautics and astronautics from the University of Washington, Seattle, in 2009. In between his Master’s and Ph.D. degrees he worked at Texas Instruments, Japan, on audio compression algorithms. He worked as a Research Associate at the Universität Stuttgart, Germany, and is now an associate professor at Technion, Israel.
