Control Science and Dynamical Systems (CSDy)

Indepartmental Ph.D. Program

The CSDy Interdepartmental Ph.D. Program provides an opportunity for interdisciplinary research in control science and dynamical system theory. The CSDy program coordinates scholarly and scientific activity of these areas within IT and the University and coordinates its activities with industrial firms in the Minnesota region. CSDy faculty are drawn from the Departments of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, as well as from the Departments of Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics, all in IT, and from the Departments of Economics and Political Science. The Co-Directors of the CSDy Center are Prof. Gary J. Balas (AEM) and Prof. Tryphon Georgiou (ECE), and Prof. Balas serves as CSDy Director of Graduate Studies. The CSDy Program has 8 students pursuing the Ph.D and all are Research Assistants working on various research projects related to the control and dynamics of systems.

The Control Science and Dynamical Systems is proud to sponsor and host a workshop in honor of Professor E. Bruce Lee on the occasion of his 70th birthday on September 20-21, 2002 at the University of Minnesota. Professor Lee and Professor Larry Marcus founded the CSDy Center at the University of Minnesota in 1961. Professor E. Bruce Lee is a pioneering contributor to the field of optimal control and systems theory, with extensive service to the Control Community and the University of Minnesota.
