Speakers

ACODS invites researchers and engineers whose work spans defence systems, process industries, manufacturing and academia. The lectures below reflect that range.

Plenary lectures

Full length invited talks

Plenary speakers open each theme with a survey of a field and its open problems.

  • V. K. Saraswat

    Defence Research and Development Organisation, India

    Guidance and control challenges in intercepting fast airborne threats, including target state estimation and autopilot design.

  • Ian Craig

    Professor, University of Pretoria, and a past President of IFAC

    Treating drug therapy for a viral infection as a control problem, with controlled variables, actuators and performance limits.

  • Siva Banda

    Chief Scientist, Air Vehicles Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, United States

    Autonomy for aerospace platforms, covering on line decision making under uncertainty and cooperation between multiple vehicles.

  • S. N. Balakrishnan

    Professor, Missouri University of Science and Technology, United States

    Neural network solutions to optimal control, built on adaptive critic methods for nonlinear and distributed systems.

  • Lalit K. Mestha

    Principal Scientist, Xerox Research Center, United States

    Control of color imaging systems, where multivariable control and model predictive methods meet production printing.

Semi plenary lectures

Voices from industry

These talks focus on taking control and optimization methods into operating plants and products.

  • Fernando D’Amato

    GE Global Research

    Industrial use of optimization based control, from energy saving in rail operations to the startup of combined cycle power plants.

  • Praveen Mysore

    Senior Technical Manager, Dassault Systemes India

    Functional three dimensional mock up simulation and validation, allowing a design to be tested virtually before a prototype is built.
