Professor Matthew Turner BEng, PhD, MIEEE

Professor in Cyber-Physical Systems

Research interests

  • Adaptive control systems and how they can be made robust and function in situations not originally envisaged
  • Anti-windup algorithms for systems with control signal constraints - retro fits to existing controllers to enable them to function well when actuator position/rate-limits are present
  • Absolute stabilty of systems containing static, isolated nonlinearities - especially efficient, convex algorithms for their analysis
