Kanat Camlibel received the Ph.D. degree in mathematical theory of systems and control from Tilburg University, Tilburg, The Netherlands, in 2001. Currently, he is affiliated with Johann Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands, where he served as an Assistant Professor between 2007 and 2013. From 2001 to 2007, he held Post-Doctoral/Assistant Professor positions with the University of Groningen, Tilburg University, and Eindhoven Technical University, Eindhoven, The Netherlands. His research interests include differential variational inequalities, complementarity problems, optimization, piecewise affine dynamical systems, switched linear systems, constrained linear systems, multi-agent systems, model reduction, and geometric theory of linear systems. Dr. Camlibel has published 40 journal articles and 60 conference articles. He has served as an Associate Editor for International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control for several years and currently is an Associate Editor for SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization and Systems & Control Letters. Dr. Camlibel serves as an Associate Editor also for a number of conferences including IEEE Control and Decision Conference, American Control Conference, European Control Conference as well as IFACWorld Congress on Automatic Control. In addition, he served as International Program Committee member for various conferences including the 3rd IFAC Conference on Analysis and Design of Hybrid Systems, 12th European Control Conference, and 21st International Symposium on Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems. A. Agung Julius joined the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as an Assistant Professor in December 2008. He earned the Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics from the University of Twente, The Netherlands in 2005. In 2005 - 2008, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Julius research interests include systems and control, systems biology, stochastic models in systems biology, control of biological systems, hybrid systems, and mathematical systems theory. His research group is supported by the US National Science Foundation through 4 research grants (as Principle Investigator), and the US Army Research Office through 2 research grants (as Co-Principle Investigator). He received an NSF CAREER award in 2010. Dr. Julius has published 21 peer-reviewed journal articles and over 60 peer-reviewed conference articles. He is a co-author of the Best Application Paper in the 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI 2013), and a finalist for the Best Paper Award at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2013). Dr. Julius is an Associate Editor in the IEEE Control Systems Society Conference Editorial Board, and served in the Technical Program Committee for the IEEE Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE 2010), ACM/IEEE Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control (HSCC 2013), InternationalWorkshop on Hybrid Systems in Biology (HSB 2013), 2104 Summer Simulation Multi-Conference, Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS 2014), and the 21st International Symposium on Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems (MTNS 2014). He is also a co-editor of the book Microbiorobotics, which was published by Elsevier in 2012. Ramkrishna Pasumarthy was born on 12th August 1978 in Srikakulam India. He received his Masters and PhD degrees from VJTI Mumbai, India and University of Twente, The Netherlands in 2001 and 2006 respectively, with specialization in Systems and Control. Later he held post doc positions from 2007-2009 at University of Melbourne, Australia and University of California Los Angeles. Later he joined BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus, India, as an Assistant Professor in Electrical Engineering from 2010-2011. He is currently an Assistant Professor at th
