# Control Theory and Optimization Group

Control theory and optimization is one of the core research areas in applied mathematics in the LSU Department of Mathematics. The members of the mathematical control theory and optimization group and their current and recent students are listed below. Please click on their names to find out more about their activities. The current director and contact person for the group is Professor Michael Malisoff. Group members are studying control design and analysis, nonsmooth analytic methods, numerical methods, and other cutting edge topics. Some of their research involves adaptive control, Hamilton-Jacobi equations, marine robotics, state constrained and delayed systems, tracking and stability problems for bioreactors, and gradient and direct methods in nonlinear programming. The group has a strong record of extramural support. Group members have recently been awarded more than $1.6 million as Principal Investigators of federal research grants. A total of 22 Ph.D. students received their degrees under the supervision of group members. Group members have produced many research publications in the top Automation and Control Systems journals, and have presented many conference presentations and seminars at leading universities. They have also served on the editorial boards of several major journals, and have also recently held administrative positions at LSU. The group interacts with a larger interdepartmental control and optimization research group that includes engineering faculty. Some of their other outreach and teaching activities have included the Mathematics Consultation Clinic, which is an applied mathematics capstone course for LSU mathematics students, and the Math Circle, which is a summer enrichment program for high schoolers who are interested in STEM subjects. Their research, teaching, and outreach has been reported on in several magazine and other news articles. ## Professorial Group Members: 1.
