PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering - Control Systems (Modeling and Control of Automotive Powertrain Systems) in Ann Arbor United States | University of Michigan Ann Arbor

The control systems domain has undergone a radical transformation over the past three decades. Affordable microprocessors now allow control algorithms to be integrated into virtually any technology imaginable. Advanced computer-aided design tools have made it possible to analyze and design controllers for intricate multivariable systems. Societal demands for enhanced safety and environmental protection have created complex problems solvable primarily through feedback control. Emerging applications span diverse fields like cyber-physical networks, biological processes, communication systems, manufacturing automation, and robotic walking mechanisms. The University of Michigan's EECS Department Control Laboratory faculty lead pioneering work in these areas. Our research pushes technological boundaries while our courses effectively translate these innovations into student learning.
