Rodolphe Sepulchre is a professor of engineering in the Control Group at the University of Cambridge, and in KU Leuven, with research interests in nonlinear control and neural behaviours.




Education and early career


Sepulchre achieved a bachelor's degree from Université catholique de Louvain between 1989 and 1990, before remaining at this institution to study a PhD in mathematical engineering between 1990 and 1994. Between 1990 and 1997 he was employed as a researcher, and held a postdoctoral position at the University of California, Santa Barbara from 1994 to 1996. In 1997 he achieved a post as a professor at Université de Liège in the department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.




Published works


He has written two books: Optimisation Algorithms on Matrix Manifolds, published in 2007, and Constructive Nonlinear Control, published in 1996.
His main research interests include nonlinear control; optimisation on manifolds; coordination, synchronization, and consensus on nonlinear spaces; and neural behaviors, and has published over 90 papers in these areas.

In May 2022 he published a paper in Proceedings of the IEEE entitled 'Spiking Control Systems', in which he incorrectly cited the Wikipedia article on the homeostat, claiming According to Wikipedia [47], the homeostat did not work very reliably.




Other works


Sepulchre was a guest on the podcast inControl, and has been the editor of IEEE control systems magazine since February 2020.




Awards


Sepulchre was awarded the IEEE Control Systems Society Antonio Ruberti Young Researcher Prize in 2008. In 2020 he received the George S. Axelby Outstanding Paper Award of the IEEE Control Systems Society for his paper on differential dissipativity, co-written with Professor Fulvio Forni.
