<p>Here at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, controls is a major area of research. It is said that more papers are published on control from engineering than the mathematics department. If you’re interested in controls research here, I suggest you check out the work of Sean Meyn, who is my adviser. If you’re interested in systems with a bent on robotics, you may be interested in the work of Stephen Levinson. </p>
