CyLab Seminar: Bruno Sinopoli
Time: May 4, 2009 - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Location: DEC@CIC
Description: Bruno Sinopoli presents "Sensing, Estimation and Control of Cyber-Physical Systems" at Monday's CyLab Seminar.
Talk Abstract: The talk will cover recent results in estimation and control over
networks of sensors and actuators.
Advancement in communication technologies provide us with seamless
connection to our friends, our data and the physical world that
surrounds us.
The use of networked sensing and actuation, implemented via sensor and
actuator networks, may provide the necessary technology to make large
scale systems such as buildings, power grids, data centers, water
distribution systems efficient, safe and secure with respect to faults
and security attacks.
Novel sensing, distributed information processing and control
strategies need to be developed in order to implement this vision.
Also, as components are connected via general purpose communication
networks, algorithms need to take into account networks effects such
as delays and data loss.
In this talk we will provide recent results related to sensing, estimation and control over sensor networks.
Speaker Bio: Bruno Sinopoli received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical
Engineering
from the University of California at Berkeley, in 2003 and 2005
respectively.
Previously he received the Dr. Eng. degree from the University of
Padova.
Dr. Sinopoli is assistant professor in the Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.
His research interests include networked embedded control systems,
distributed estimation and control with applications to wireless
sensor-actuator networks and system security.
Dr. Sinopoli was awarded the 2006 Eli Jury Award for outstanding
research achievement
in the areas of systems, communications, control and
signal processing at U.C. Berkeley.
