Dr. Tansel Yucelen is an Associate Professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Director of the Laboratory for Autonomy, Control, Information, and Systems (LACIS, http://www.lacis.team/), and the Director of the Forum on Robotics and Control Engineering (FoRCE, http://force.eng.usf.edu/) at the University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida. He is also the Co-Founder and Principal Engineer of the ControlX. He received the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia. He was the recipient of the University of South Florida Research and Innovation Faculty Outstanding Research Achievement Award, the University of South Florida College of Engineering Junior Outstanding Research Achievement Award, the Aerospace Control and Guidance Systems Committee Dave Ward Memorial Lecture Award for the outstanding contributions to the field of adaptive control, the AIAA Technical Contribution Award for the creation of novel flight control synthesis and analysis algorithms, the Oak Ridge Associated Universities Junior Faculty Award for public recognition of the quality and promise of research, and the Class of 1942 Excellence in Teaching Award.His research places a strong emphasis on both theoretic research and experimentation for addressing fundamental and open real-world technological problems. His group perform research on the general area of systems and control with specific focus areas including i) adaptive and robust control of safety-critical systems; ii) distributed estimation and control of networked multiagent systems; iii) resilient and secure robotics, autonomous vehicles, and cyber-physical systems; and iv) biologically-inspired complex, large-scale, and modular systems. In these areas, he has co-authored over 300 archival journal and conference publications (over 3000 citations); organized invited sessions, short courses, and workshops; gave numerous talks; and performed experiments on various platforms including AirSTAR of the NASA. He is also a member of the National Academy of Inventors, and a senior member of the AIAA and the IEEE.
