Control Group
Description of Activities
Research is conducted in the general areas of decision and control theory with particular emphasis on non-linear control systems, optimal control, geometric control of mechanical systems, Sub-Riemannian geometry, non-holonomic control systems, stochastic control, decentralized control, control under information constraints.

Application for Graduate Studies:
Queen's provides an ideal environment to do graduate study in
Mathematics and
Engineering, Applied Mathematics or Mathematics or Statistics. Our
course curriculum is rigorous and increasingly diverse. The applicants
should follow the guidelines listed here.
Typically students with backgrounds in mathematics / applied
mathematics/ electrical and computer engineering / systems (mechanical,
systems, industrial, aerospace) engineering with strong interests in
mathematical sciences will find the graduate program very stimulating
and rewarding.
Our research environment is enhanced by a very active group of graduate students. There is always a steady stream of visiting scholars and post-doctoral fellows.
