NCCR Automation Seminar Series - Prof. Necmiye Ozay
Our NCCR Automation Seminar Series will start on Tuesday 21st September with Prof. Necmiye Ozay from the University of Michigan.
Title: Learning models and constraints with limited data
Biography: Prof. Necmiye Ozay is an Associate Professor at the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI. She received her B.S. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bogazici University, Istanbul in 2004, her M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA in 2006 and her Ph.D degree again in Electrical Engineering from Northeastern University, Boston, MA in 2010. Between 2010 and 2013, she was a Control and Dynamical Systems postdoctoral scholar at the Department of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA. She joined the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, in Fall 2013, where she is currently an associate professor. She is part of the Michigan Controls Group, a core member of Michigan Robotics and also affiliated with the Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) and Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE).
Research interests: Her research interests lie at the broad interface of dynamical systems, control, optimization and formal methods with applications in system identification and validation, autonomy and vision. She is particularly interested in developing novel event detection/information extraction algorithms from sensory data and designing robust cyber-physical systems that can autonomously react to these events and perform complex tasks in dynamic environments.
