Advanced Topics in Control (ATIC) covers advanced research topics in control theory. It is offered each Spring semester with the topic rotating from year to year. Repetition for credit is possible, with consent of the instructor. During the spring of 2026, the course will cover a range of topics in logic-constrained control systems.

Introduction to feedback systems and control system design

Study of concepts and methods for the mathematical description and analysis of dynamical systems. The concept of feedback. Design of control systems for single input - single output and multivariable systems.

Study of concepts and methods for the mathematical description and analysis of dynamical systems. The concept of feedback. Design of control systems for single input - single output and multivariable systems.

Covers AC power-system fundamentals, power converters, and control of grid-following and grid-forming voltage source converters, with emphasis on stability in low-inertia systems. Includes dynamic ancillary services, virtual power plants, impedance-based analysis, and data-driven control methods.

This seminar introduces students to advanced scientific methods system theory, automatic control and optimization. The seminar is primarily delivered by an external distinguished speaker and its contents will be tailored towards doctoral and research-interested students. The detailed coverage varies every semester.

Course based on individual study, please contact instructor for more information. Short projects involving literature review and possibly simple research tasks.

Continuous and discrete time linear system theory, state space methods, frequency domain methods, controllability, observability, stability.
