TC Outstanding Student Paper Prize | IEEE Control Systems Society

To recognize excellence in a CDC conference paper whose primary contributor(s) is a (are) Student Member(s) of the IEEE and the Technical Committee on Hybrid Systems.

Historical Background:

Established in 2020

Prize:

A TC student award certificate.

Basis for Judging:

Originality, clarity, and potential impact on practical applications or theoretical foundations of hybrid systems.

Eligibility:

Primary contributor(s) of a paper, who was a (were) Student Member(s) of the IEEE and the Technical Committee on Hybrid Systems at the time of original submission at the CDC preceding the year of the award.

Nomination Details:

Any TC member can nominate a paper through an email to the TC chair. The email needs to contain a statement that the primary contributor of the paper was a student at the time of paper submission. Self-nominations are allowed, but the nomination email must be carbon-copied to all the authors.

Biography

Maurice Heemels received the M.Sc. degree in mathematics and the Ph.D. degree in control theory (both summa cum laude) from the University of Technology, Eindhoven (TU/e), the Netherlands, in 1995 and 1999, respectively. From 2000 to 2004, he was with the Electrical Engineering Department, TU/e, and from 2004 to 2006 with the Embedded Systems Institute (ESI). Since 2006, he has been with the Department of Mechanical Engineering, TU/e, where he is currently a Full Professor. He held visiting professor positions at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Switzerland (2001), and at the University of California at Santa Barbara (2008). In 2004, he worked also at the company Oce, the Netherlands. His current research interests include hybrid and cyber-physical systems, networked and event-triggered control systems and constrained systems including model predictive control. Maurice served/s on the editorial boards of Automatica, Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems, Annual Reviews in Control, and IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. He was a recipient of a personal VICI grant awarded by STW (Dutch Technology Foundation, NWO/TTW) and is the current chair of the IFAC Technical Committee on Networked Systems. He is the founding father of a bi-annual PhD school on multi-disciplinary research topics such as hybrid, networked and cyber-physical systems educating over 600 PhD students worldwide since 2003. He was IPC (co-)chair of IFAC ADHS'12, ECC'13, IFAC NECSYS'13, and IFAC ADHS'18. He is a Fellow of the IEEE.
