A third of a century in systems and control:
a workshop dedicated to Tryphon T. Georgiou's 60th birthday

55th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control
Las Vegas, December 11, 2016

Workshop summary:

This workshop is being organized to celebrate Professor Tryphon T. Georgiou's 60th birthday and honor the key contributions that he has made to several important problems in systems and control theory. This workshop brings together his colleagues and former students who will present a broad range of topics related to systems and control theory. In particular, the speakers will present topics on networks, big data, and control theory as well as personal reminiscences from Tryphon's career. The main goal of this workshop is to inspire a future generation of research leaders to pursue work that promotes excellence.

Welcome!
