Mer om författaren

In 2018, João P. Belfo received his M.Sc. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a dissertation on the design of cancer therapy based on impulsive optimal control. He is currently a grant researcher at INESC-ID.João M. Lemos is a Full Professor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of IST, the School of Engineering of the University of Lisboa, Portugal, and Head of the Research Group on Control of Dynamic Systems of INESC-ID, where he currently develops research and teaching activities in the scientific area of systems, decision and control. His areas of activity mainly comprise applications to biomedical systems, and other areas, of adaptive, predictive and optimal control.Professor Lemos has published more than 200 scientific papers in peer-reviewed international journals and conference proceedings; he has also (co)authored two books: a university manual on state-space-based control design (in Portuguese) and Adaptive Control of Solar Energy Collector Systems (Springer, ISBN ISBN 978-3-319-06852-7).
