Control Systems Research Group

 
 


The  Control Group was formed to promote advanced knowledge in  all  the fields  related  to   control   systems  including  linear control,  nonlinear   control,   robust   control,   optimal  control, adaptive control,  and system identification, estimation, filtering, modeling and  simulation.  The group is also concerned with the application of  artificial  intelligence  such  as  neural  networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms to control systems. Particular attention  is  devoted  to  applying  control  technology to power systems, oil and petrochemical industries.
