Jorge I. Poveda is an Associate Professor at UC San Diego in the ECE Department. His group develops foundational frameworks and algorithms for the design, control and operation of autonomous and cyber-physical systems, with emphasis on hybrid dynamics, adaptation, game theory, artificial intelligence, and real-time decision-making across multi-agent engineering, societal, and biological domains.
Dr. Poveda is the recipient of the CRII and CAREER Awards from NSF, the Young Investigator Awards from AFOSR and SHPE, the Donald P. Eckman Award, and the CCDC Outstanding Scholar Fellowship and Best Ph.D. Dissertation awards from UC Santa Barbara. He has also received several Best Paper and Best Paper Finalist awards with his students and colleagues, including recognitions from IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems (2023), the American Control Conference (2024, 2026), the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (2017, 2021), and the IFAC Conference on Analysis and Design of Hybrid Systems (2024). He obtained his Ph.D. from UC Santa Barbara under the supervision of Andrew R. Teel, was a Postdoctoral Scholar at Harvard working with Na Li, and an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
We are always looking for highly motivated students, postdocs, and visiting scholars with a strong mathematical background and interest in control, optimization, and learning systems.
