"Dynamic control: Mathematical challenges and applications"

• Speaker: Prof. Enrique Zuazua, DeustoTech Research Center - Bilbao & Universidad Autónoma de Madrid
• Proponent: Prof. Vincenzo Ferone

Enrique Zuazua got the PhD degree in 1988 at the Laboratoire Jacques Louis Lions of the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI). He is a Distinguished Research Professor and the Director of the Chair of Computational Mathematics of DeustoTech Research Center of the University of Deusto in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain, and Professor of Applied Mathematics at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). His fields of expertise cover Partial Differential Equations, Systems Control and Numerical Analysis. These interconnected fields have as ultimate goal the modelling, analysis, computer simulation and control and design of natural phenomena and engineering processes.

In 2007 he received the Spanish National Prize "Julio Rey Pastor". He is a member of the Basque Academy "Jakiunde" and the Academia Europaea, Doctor Honoris Causa from the Universitè de Lorraine in France and Ambassador of the FAU University of Erlangen-Nürenberg in Germany.
