About

Overview

Dr Efstathios Milonidis received his first degree in Electrical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, his MSc in Control Engineering and his MPhil in Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics from Cranfield Institute of Technology, and his PhD in Control Theory and Design from City University. Prior to his present appointment as a Lecturer in Control and Information Systems at the School of Engineering & Mathematical Sciences he was an Associate Research Professor at the Institute of Automation, Danish Technical University, Copenhagen, and an Associate Professor at the Department of Electronics at the Technical University of Thessaloniki, Greece.

His research experience is in the areas of Control Systems Design, Algebraic Control Synthesis Methods, and Sampled and Discrete Time Systems. He has contributed in the development of a methodology for Synthesis of Discrete Time Control schemes based on the problem of "Finite Settling Time Stabilisation" (FSTS) and the development of control based methodology for Control Structure Selection. His main research interests are in Discrete Time Control, Modelling and Simulation of Dynamical Systems, Systems Theory and Graph Methods for Multivariable Control Systems.
