Suat Gümü?soy is principal control system engineer in the controls and identification team at MathWorks, contributing to the control system, robust control, and system identification toolboxes. He is the author of two control apps and 50 publications and serves as an associate editor on the IEEE CSS Conference Editorial Board. His research focuses on reinforcement learning, analysis and control of time delay systems, optimization-based tuning methods for robust control, frequency domain system identification, and model reduction.

Kenji Kashima is an associate professor with the graduate school of informatics at Kyoto University. He is an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, the IEEE CSS Conference Editorial Board, and the Asian Journal of Control. He received a Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers (2010) and a Pioneer Award of SICE Control Division (2012). His research interests include system and control theory for distributed and stochastic phenomena in large scale dynamical systems, as well as its applications.

Yutaka Yamamoto is Professor Emeritus at Kyoto University. He has received numerous awards and prizes, including the IEEE Control Systems Society’s Distinguished Member Award (2009) and Transition to Practice Award (2012) and the ISCIE Best Industrial Paper Award (2009). He is a past president of the IEEE Control Systems Society and is currently an associate editor of Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, IFAC, and SICE. His research and teaching interests are in realization and robust control of distributed parameter systems, learning control systems, and sampled-data systems, and its application to digital signal processing, with emphasis on sound and image processing.
