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

The control systems discipline 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 control applications now span diverse fields like cyber-physical systems, biological networks, production automation, and robotic walking systems. The University of Michigan's EECS Department Control Laboratory faculty are at the forefront of these advancements. Our research pushes boundaries while our courses effectively translate these innovations for student learning.
