Control is full of fascinating mathematical challenges that can make a real difference to the world, especially the green energy transition.
Colin Jones has been an Associate Professor in the Automatic Control Laboratory at the EPFL in Switzerland since 2017 and an assistant professor from 2011. He was a Senior Researcher at the Automatic Control Lab at ETH Zurich until 2010 and obtained a Ph.D. in 2005 from the University of Cambridge for his work on polyhedral computational methods for constrained control. He is the author or coauthor of more than 200 publications and was awarded an ERC starting grant to study the optimal control of building networks. His current research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, predictive control and optimization, as well as the control of green energy generation, distribution and management.
