Eric C Kerrigan
Chair of the Future Mobility Grand Challenge Research Committee
Eric Kerrigan is Professor of Control and Optimization at Imperial College London, where he holds a joint appointment in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and the Department of Aeronautics. He completed his BSc(Eng) at the University of Cape Town and earned his PhD from the University of Cambridge.
His research focuses on developing theory and methods for model predictive control (MPC) to systematically address nonlinearities and uncertainties. His expertise lies in designing efficient numerical methods for real-time MPC, motivated by applications in aerospace, renewable energy, and information systems. He recently served as a Senior Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology and is currently an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control.
