Martin Steinberger received his master in electrical engineering and his PhD in technical sciences from Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria, in 2005 and 2011, respectively. During his time as a PostDoc at Klagenfurt University, Austria, he participated in several industry projects mainly in the field of automotive control. He has been assistant professor at the Institute of Automation and Control since 2016, Graz University of Technology. His research is mainly focused on sliding-mode control and networked control. He was program chair of the 15th International Workshop on Variable-structure Systems (VSS2018) and main organizer of summer schools on sliding-mode control as well as on complex networks and control systems in Graz.

Martin Horn received his PhD in electrical engineering in 1998 and his habilitation in "system dynamics and control" in 2003. From 2003 to 2008, he was associate professor at the Institute of Automation and Control at Graz University of Technology. In 2008, he was appointed as a full professor of Control and Measurement Systems at the Faculty of Technical Sciences of Klagenfurt University. Since 2014, he has been head of the Institute of Automation and Control at Graz University of Technology. Martin's main research areas are currently in robust and networked control theory. He participates in several international research projects. He is head of a newly founded research lab focusing on application-oriented basic research in the field of Model Based Control of Complex Testbed Systems. He is reviewer for several important journals, such as International Journal of Control, International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics or Control Engineering Practice. Martin is author and co-author of numerous journal and conference papers.

Leonid M. Fridman received his M.S. degree in mathematics from Kuibyshev (Samara) State University in 1976, a Ph.D. degree
