The 23rd International Symposium on the Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems
日期 : 2018年 7月 18 - 20日
地點 : 香港科技大學 林護演講廳 (LT-B)
詳情

Overview

The International Symposium on the Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems is a major symposium in the general area of mathematical systems theory. The symposium is interdisciplinary and attracts mathematicians, engineers and researchers working in all aspects of systems theory. Mathematical methods which play a role in the areas mentioned above stem from a broad range of fields of pure and applied mathematics, including ordinary and partial differential equations, real and complex analysis, numerical analysis, probability theory and stochastic analysis, operator theory, linear and commutative algebra as well as algebraic and differential geometry. There are a wide range of applications ranging from problems in biology, communications and mathematical finance to problems in chemical engineering, aerospace engineering and robotics.

The following events are co-sponsored by IAS:

About the speakers


Prof Asu Özdağlar
received her PhD in from MIT in 2003. She then joined the faculty of MIT, and is currently the Joseph F and Nancy P Keithley Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Prof Özdağlar’s research focuses on problems that arise in the analysis and optimization of large-scale dynamic multi-agent networked systems including communication networks, transportation networks, and social and economic networks.

Prof Özdağlar received the Donald P Eckman Award by the American Automatic Control Council. She was also elected a Microsoft Fellow (2001) and Kavli Fellow of the US National Academy of Sciences (2011). 


Prof Miroslav Krstic
received his PhD in from University of California, Santa Barbara in 1994. He joined the University of Maryland in 1995 as an Assistant Professor and moved to University of California, San Diego in 1997. He is currently a Distinguished Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Senior Associate Vice Chancellor for Research.

Prof Krstic’s research focuses on control theory: nonlinear & adaptive control, stabilization of PDEs, extremum seeking, delay systems, stochastic averaging and stabilization in probability, and non-cooperative games.

Prof Krstic received numerous awards including the Rufus Oldenburger Medal (2017), the Henry M Paynter Outstanding Investigator Award (2016) and the Nyquist Lecture Prize (2015) by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and also the John R Ragazzini Education Award by the American Automatic Control Council (2017). He was also elected Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2017), of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (2015), of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (2014), of the UK Institution of Engineering and Technology (2014) and of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (2001).
