KAUST Professor of Electrical Engineering Jeff Shamma has been awarded The International Federation of Automatic Control Council’s (IFAC) High Impact Paper Award 2020.
KAUST recently acted as a host campus for the European Embedded Control Institute's International Graduate School on Control (IGSC). The IGSC is an annual series of 27 one-week graduate modules focusing on different topics of networked and embedded control and is taught to eligible attendees at different locations worldwide. The series is co-sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Control Systems Society and the International Federation of Automatic Control.
