A. Stephen Morse, the Dudley Professor of Electrical Engineering, has been awarded the Giorgio Quazza Medal by the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC).
The Henry Prentiss Becton Graduate Prize, awarded for exceptional achievement in research in Engineering & Applied Science, was awarded to Lili Wang, a Ph.D. candidate in the lab of Steven Morse, the Dudley Professor of Electrical Engineering.
Researchers at Yale University have found that the more allies a country has, the less power it has. The authors say the findings have potential implications for current events.
Professor Morse's research deals with problems involving the control of dynamical systems of all types. He is especially interested in control using logic-based switching, in hybrid systems, in vision-based control, and in the development of new algorithms for controlling very imprecisely modeled processes. Currently his research is focused on a variety of problems in the area of network science including sensor network localization, multi-agent consensus and rendezvous, and the distributed control of formations of mobile autonomous agents.
