IFAC Fellows
The IFAC Fellow Award is given to persons who have made outstanding and extraordinary contributions in the field of interest of IFAC, in the role as an Engineer/Scientist, Technical Leader, or Educator.
The first Fellows were elected at the IFAC World Congress in Prague in July 2005.
The Fellow Selection Committee (FSC) for the period 2008 - 2011 consists of:
L. Ljung (Chair), E.J. Davison, S. Engell, K. Furuta, H. Kwakernaak, M. Masten, D. Mayne, E. Mosca
Fellows elected in 2010
Antsaklis, Panos | For fundamental contributions to hybrid control systems, supervisory control of discrete event systems, control of systems over networks and for leadership in the profession. |
Banda, Siva | For technical leadership and innovative development of advanced control design. |
| Barmish, Ross | For outstanding contributions to robust control theory for systems with parametric uncertainty. |
Byrnes, Chris* | For fundamental contributions to nonlinear control and signal processing. |
Dai, Ruwei | For outstanding contributions in research and education on theory and application of automatic control, intelligent and complex systems. |
Dochain, Denis | For outstanding contributions to the estimation and control design for biological systems and for professional service to the field. |
Duncan, Tyrone | For exceptional contributions to stochastic, optimal and adaptive control, filtering theory and stochastic systems. |
Ge, Shuzhi Sam | For fundamental contributions to adaptive neural network control with applications in robotics |
Grizzle, Jessy | For outstanding contributions to nonlinear control theory and to applications in automotive and robotic systems. |
| Hara, Shinji | For fundamental contributions to robust control, sampled-data control and control system synthesis. |
| Khammash, Mustafa | For fundamental contributions to the theory of robust control and for the applications of systems and control theory to biology. |
| Kwon, Wook-Hyun | For outstanding contributions of fundamental theories for both receding horizon controls of ordinary systems and robust stabilizing controls of time delay systems. |
| Qiu, Li | For outstanding and seminal contributions to robust control theory and to fundamental performance limitations in feedback control systems. |
| Lindquist, Anders | For fundamental contributions to the theory of stochastic systems, signals and control. |
| Teel, Andrew | For seminal contributions in nonlinear and hybrid systems analysis and control design. |
| Tomizuka, Masayoshi | For outstanding contributions to adaptive control and discrete time/digital control for mechanical and mechatronic systems, and for contributions and leadership in control engineering education. |
| Ulsoy, Ali | For fundamental contributions to dynamics and control of mechanical systems, especially manufacturing and automotive systems. |
* By decision of the IFAC Council, Chris Byrnes was elected Fellow posthumously, as he sadly passed away in the evaluation period of the Award.
