He is currently an Assistant Professor at the Electrical Engineering department, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India. His research interests lie in the area of nonlinear control theory and infinite dimensional systems in the port-Hamiltonian framework, time delay systems and control of computing systems with specific applications to Cloud Computing Systems. He has coauthored over thirty research articles in peer reviewed journals and conferences. He is a team member of the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Data Sciences funded by IIT Madras. He was earlier the recipient of the early career research grant at the University of Melbourne. He served as the local arrangements chair for the first Indian Control Conference held at IIT Madras in Jan. 2015 and is the program chair for the 2nd Indian Control Conference to be held at IIT Hyderabad in Jan. 2016. Jacquelien M. A. Scherpen received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in applied mathematics from the University of Twente, The Netherlands, in 1990 and 1994, respectively, in the field of systems and control. From 1994 to 2006 she was at the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, with the Circuits and Systems and Control Engineering groups of Electrical Engineering. From 2003 to 2006 she was with the Delft Center for Systems and Control at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. Since Septem- ber 2006 she has been holding a Professor position at the University of Groningen in the Engineering and Technology institute Groningen (ENTEG) of the faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Since 2013 she is scientific director of ENTEG. She has held visiting research positions at the Universit de Compiegne, France, SUPELEC, Gifsur-Yvette, France, the University of Tokyo, Japan and the Old Dominion University, VA, USA.
