Lukáš is a master student who started his graduate studies in the fall 2017. He joined the AA4CC group towards the end of his undergraduate studies when he worked on the project of modeling and control of Rijke's tube. Within his master's studies he is involved in development of a motion control system for an industrial microelectronics assembly machine. In particular, he focuses on control design for PMSM motors, algorithms for iterative learning control and path/trajectory planning.

Martin Gurtner is a doctoral student supervised by Zdeněk Hurák. He started his doctoral studies in the fall 2016. His research focus is on real-time optimization for control. In this regard, he has been building on top of his master's research in the domain of micromanipulation by shaping electric or magnetic fields through arrays of microelectrodes or coils, respectively, which he has conducted in the same group.

Dr. Didier Henrion (*1971) is a part-time researcher in aa4cc group. His main affiliation is with the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), namely LAAS CNRS in Toulouse, France. He received a PhD degree from the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in 1998 and a PhD degree from INSA Toulouse in 1999, both in the area of systems control theory. In 2004, he was awarded the bronze medal, the highest distinction from CNRS for young researchers. His main research topics are numerical algorithms for polynomial matrices and convex optimization over linear matrix inequalities with applications to linear systems and robust control. He has published about 60 papers and/or chapters in international journals or books, and about 100 international conference papers. He has been an Associate Editor of Automatica (from 2002 to 2009), the European Journal of Control (from 2005 to 2008), IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (from 2005 to 2008), the Slovak Journal of Electrical Engineering (since 2004) and the Czech journal Kybernetika (since 2008). From 1999 to 2004, he was an Associate Editor on the Conference Editorial Board of the IEEE Control Systems Society. He has chaired the IEEE Technical Committee on Computer-Aided Control System Design (since 2004) and vice-chaired the IFAC Technical Committee on Control Design (from 2003 to 2008), and he has been a member of the IFAC Technical Committee on Robust Control (since 2003). He was involved in the organization of the 2006 IFAC ROCOND symposium.

He keeps joining the group twice every year for one or two months. Within his part-time affiliation with aa4cc he gives an advanced graduate course on linear matrix inequalities and semidefinite programming with applications in control systems design and analysis. Thanks to Didier's reputation, several foreign visitors are travelling to Prague to attend his course every year.

Adam Kollarčík is a graduate student (since October 2018) but he started collaborating with the AA4CC group already through his undergraduate project. Together with Josef Matouš he worked on noncontact manipulation using and array of ultrasonic (piezo) transducers.

Tomáš is a doctoral student conducting research in the domain of distributed micromanipulation based on dielectrophoresis under supervision of Zdeněk Hurák. He started his doctoral studies in 2016. His research interests include mathematical modeling of dielectrophoresis and other electrokinetic phenomena and real-time optimization-based (micro)manipulation using arrays of actuators. Besides solving computational problems, Tomáš is also involved in laboratory experimental verification of the proposed control strategies. A particular research task that Tomáš is investigating is the independent but simultaneous manipulation with several microparticles (possibly of biological origin). His ultimate motivation is to contribute to development of a cheap Lab-on-a-Chip device for affordable and fast bioanalysis such as detection of cancer or some infection. Tomáš is driven by the conviction that advanced methods from control theory, robotics a automation can make a major impact in the Lab-on-Chip domain.

Tomáš joined the group as early as in his final undergraduate year while working on the project supervised by Jiří Zemánek. He was one of the key team members who brought the team's dielectrophoretic setup to a succesful participation at Mobile Microrobotics Challenge organized by NIST in 2012 and IEEE RAS in 2013. This collaboration with Jiří Zemánek culminated in the successfuly defended master's thesis in June 2015, which was awarded Dean’s prize.

Krištof collaborated with AA4CC group during his undergraduate and master studies at CTU from which he graduated in the summer 2019. His thesis was on design, building, modeling and control of an array of Rijke tubes. After the graduation he continued his collaboration with the group as an R&D engineer. Falling in love with making things, Krištof serves the group with various engineering design and fabrication tasks.

Daniel is a third-year doctoral student (he started studying in October 2016). His advisor is Prof. Didier Henrion. Daniel got his MSc from Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, MO, United States. His research focus is on application of semidefinite programming to control design techniques.
