Péter Gáspár received both M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Faculty of Transportation Engineering and Vehicle Engineering, Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) in 1985 and 1997, respectively, and his D.Sc. degree in Control from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS) in 2007. Since 2016 he has been a corresponding member of the HAS. In 1990 he became a Senior Research Fellow at the Systems and Control Laboratory (SCL), Computer and Automation Research Institute (MTA SZTAKI), and since 2007 he has been a Research Professor. He is Head of the Vehicle Dynamics and Control Research Group at SCL and is also a Full Professor at the Department of Control for Transportation and Vehicle Systems, BME. He is a member of IFAC Technical Committees on both Automotive Control and Transportation Systems. He is a co-author of 5 books on control theory and has published 118 journal papers, 7 book chapters and 275 papers in conference proceedings. His research interests include linear and nonlinear systems, robust control, multi-objective control, system identification and identification for control. His research and industrial work has involved mechanical systems, vehicle structures, vehicle control and autonomous vehicles.
