Ramkrishna Pasumarthy was born on 12th August 1978 in Srikakulam India. He received his Masters and PhD degrees from VJTI Mumbai, India and University of Twente, The Netherlands in 2001 and 2006 respectively, with specialization in Systems and Control. Later he held post doc positions from 2007-2009 at University of Melbourne, Australia and University of California Los Angeles. Later he joined BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus, India, as an Assistant Professor in Electrical Engineering from 2010-2011. He is currently an Assistant Professor at the Electrical Engineering department, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India. His research interests lie in the area of nonlinear control theory and infinite dimensional systems in the port-Hamiltonian framework, time delay systems and control of computing systems with specific applications to Cloud Computing Systems. He has coauthored over thirty research articles in peer reviewed journals and conferences. He is a team member of the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Data Sciences funded by IIT Madras. He was earlier the recipient of the early career research grant at the University of Melbourne. He served as the local arrangements chair for the first Indian Control Conference held at IIT Madras in Jan. 2015 and is the program chair for the 2nd Indian Control Conference to be held at IIT Hyderabad in Jan. 2016.
Jacquelien M. A. Scherpen received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in applied mathematics from the University of Twente, The Netherlands, in 1990 and 1994, respectively, in the field of systems and control. From 1994 to 2006 she was at the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, with the Circuits and Systems and Control Engineering groups of Electrical Engineering. From 2003 to 2006 she was with the Delft Center for Systems and Control at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. Since Septem- ber 2006 she has been holding a Professor position at the University of Groningen in the Engineering and Technology institute Groningen (ENTEG) of the faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Since 2013 she is scientific director of ENTEG. She has held visiting research positions at the Universit de Compiegne, France, SUPELEC, Gifsur-Yvette, France, the University of Tokyo, Japan and the Old Dominion University, VA, USA. Her research interests include nonlinear model reduction methods, realization theory, nonlinear control methods, with in particular modeling and control of physical systems with applications to electrical circuits, electro-mechanical systems and mechanical systems. Distributed control systems with applications to smart grids, industrial and space applications are included in her interests. Dr. Scherpen has been an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, and of the International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control. Currently, she is an Associate Editor of the IMA Journal of Mathematical Control and Information, and she is on the editorial board of the International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control. She is (co-author of 58 papers in high quality peer reviewed journals, and 9 chapters in books, co-editor of a book, and more than 140 papers in peer-reviewed conference proceedings.
