Congratulations to our member Daniel Wagner for successfully defending his doctoral thesis on "Measures and LMIs for V&V [validation and verification] of Adaptive Control" on March 25, 2021.

The thesis can be dowloaded at https://wiki.control.fel.cvut.cz/mediawiki/images/9/96/Diz_2021_wagner_daniel.pdf. Daniel's doctoral supervisor was Didier Henrion (part-time with us at CTU while his home institute is LAAS CNRS) and co-supervisor was Martin Hromčík. In his thesis Daniel built on top of his supervisor's expertise in polynomial optimization and his co-supervisor's expertize in flight controls and presented a systematic methodology for rigorous evaluation of performance of adaptive control schemes that avoids the computationally heavy Monte Carlo sampling.

The three reviewers were Alexander Schirrer (TU Vienna), Juraj Oravec (STU Bratislava) and Tomáš Vyhlídal (CVUT Prague). All the three reviews were positive (and can be found at https://wiki.control.fel.cvut.cz/mediawiki/index.php/Diserta%C4%8Dn%C3%AD_pr%C3%A1ce_2021.

Good luck, Daniel, with your career, whether you start it back home in the USA or in Europe.
