Panos Antsaklis is the Brosey Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame and also Concurrent Professor in the Departments of Computer Science and Engineering and of Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics. He is a graduate of the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, and holds MS and PhD degrees from Brown University. His research addresses problems of control and automation and examines ways to design control systems that will exhibit high degree of autonomy. His current research focuses on Cyber-Physical Systems and the interdisciplinary research area of control, computing and communication networks, and on hybrid and discrete event dynamical systems.
Career
He has over 550 publications in journals, books and conference proceedings and he has co-authored two research monographs on discrete event systems, two graduate textbooks on Linear Systems and has co-edited six books on Intelligent Autonomous Control, Hybrid Systems and Networked Embedded Control Systems.

He is the recipient of the 2013 Faculty Award of the University of Notre Dame. The Faculty Award was established in the 1927-28 academic year and singles out that faculty member, who, in the opinion of his or her colleagues has contributed outstanding services to the University. He is the President of the Mediterranean Control Association, he has served as the Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Max-Planck-Institut fur Dynamik Komplexer Technischer Systeme, Magdeburg, Germany, as member of the President’s Council of Advisors for Science and Technology subcommittee on Networking and Information Technology. He delivered the Science Keynote Address at the 2012 NSF Cyber-Physical Systems PI Meeting. He was the President of the IEEE Control Systems Society and served as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control for 8 years, from January 2010 to December 2017.
