Estimation and control of networked cyberphysical systems
Cyberphysical systems (CPS) integrate sensors, communication networks, controllers, dynamic processes and actuators. CPS play an increasingly important role in modern society, in areas such as energy, transportation, manufacturing, healthcare. Due to the interplay between control systems, communications and computations, the design of CPS requires novel approaches, which bridge disciplinary boundaries.This PhD project will develop engineering science and methods for the analysis and design of CPS operating in closed loop. Your research will bring together elements of control systems engineering, as …

Towards resilient cyberphysical systems
Many critical infrastructure systems are operated using networked feedback control. These systems crucially use wireless networks to transmit sensor and actuation signals. Unfortunately, wireless technology (sensors, actuators and communications) is unreliable and increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. This causes performance degradation, loss of stability, system failure and, at worst, leads to deaths and disasters. Therefore, mitigating the effects of attack algorithms on Cyberphysical Systems (CPSs) is of utmost importance.A distinguishing aspect, when compared to attacks on classical information systems, is that …
