Overview
While diverse research interests are represented by the core faculty and affiliated faculty in the Department of Systems Engineering, the following areas of concentration combine graduate level research and curriculum:
- Control, energy and mechatronic systems
- Computational cancer biology
- Compressed sensing
- Cyber-physical system security
- Network control
- Robotics
- Systems design and development
Other concentration areas are pursued as research focus areas, depending on student and faculty interest.
In keeping with the established tradition of research at UT Dallas, SYSE students are encouraged to collaborate with researchers in other programs in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science and the Naveen Jindal School of Management. Related areas of interest include computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, bioengineering, computer engineering, operations management, finance, marketing, entrepreneurship, and business management.
This lab is home to faculty and students (graduate and undergraduate) who are working on problems related to energy storage for vehicle applications, as well as stationary applications for larger, complex systems.
The Energy Storage Systems Lab (ESSL)
This lab aims to control and optimize large-scale complex dynamical systems. A major thrust of the lab combines network science with control theory to understand how to infer important properties of a system using only the structure of the interconnection of agents or subunits.
Security in Control & Control of Networks Lab
LDCN’s multidisciplinary research team pursues a dynamic and active research program that maintains a solid systems and control focus on a variety of emerging applications in nanotechnology.
The Laboratory for Dynamics and Control of Nanosystems (LDCN)
The Laboratory for Autonomous Robotics and Systems (LARS) focuses on the development of novel control theory to support autonomous and tele-operation of general robotic systems.
