Sample Seminars

• Boundary Control of PDEs: A Short Course on Backstepping Designs (a 894 page PDF file, meant to be presented in 5-6 hours). Also available:

o a printer-friendly version (238 slides)

o beam stabilization movie (2.2 MB); string tracking movie (4.2 MB); flexible inverted pendulum movie (1.4 MB).

• Control of PDEs and Turbulent Fluid Flows (an older one-hour seminar, but contains more applications with CFD and experiments)
• Adaptive Control of PDEs and Nonlinear Systems (PDF) (a 2.5-hour short course)

• Delay systems (slides of a 1hr talk at U. Minnesota) or watch a similar talk at UC Berkeley on Youtube.

• Extremum Seeking (PDF) — propulsion and other applications.

• Source Seeking (PDF) – autonomous vehicles.

• Tracking a diffusive source—animation—movie (5.8 MB, Quicktime).
