Bio and Research

Asad Ullah Awan received the B.E. degree in Mechatronics Engineering from the National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan (2008). He received his M.S. degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the Seoul National University, South Korea (2013). He worked as a lecturer at the National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan, from 2013 till 2016. He is currently a PhD student in the HCS group at TUM (since May 2016). His research interests are control of large-scale interconnected systems, and control of hybrid systems.
