Rocky Mountain Workshop on Control and Autonomy

Join us for a one-day workshop designed to spark connections and collaboration among control scientists and engineers across Colorado and beyond! Held just after the 2025 American Controls Conference in Denver, this event offers a unique chance to connect with experts in the field.
What to Expect:
ÌýÌýInspiring plenary talks by two leading controls researchers
ÌýÌýEngaging poster sessions for students and early-career researchers
ÌýÌýNetworking & coffee breaks focused on curiosity, collaboration and innovation
Contact Event Organizers:
ÌýÌýEmily Jensen: Assistant Professor, Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering, CU 51´«Ã½
ÌýÌýPhilip Brown: Assisant Professor, Computer Science, University of Colorado Colorado Springs
Note: Space in the poster session is limited and those who fill out the poster session form will be contacted with confirmation of a spot in the session or notified of being placed on a waitlist.Ìý
Workshop Speakers
ManxiÌýWuÌýis assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of California, Berkeley. Her research develops methods in game theory, multi-agent learning, and market design to address emerging challenges in urban infrastructure and mobility systems. Prior to joining Berkeley, she was an Assistant Professor in the School of Operations Research and Information Engineering at Cornell University. She received her Ph.D. in Social and Engineering Systems from MIT in 2021.ÌýManxiÌýhas also held positions as a Research Fellow at the Simons Institute program on Learning and Games and as a Postdoctoral Scholar in the EECS Department at UC Berkeley.
Jeff Shamma is Department Head of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering and Jerry S. Dobrovolny Chair at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He previously held faculty positions at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and at Georgia Tech as the Julian T. Hightower Chair in Systems and Controls. Jeff received a PhD in Systems Science and Engineering from MIT in 1988. He is a Fellow of IEEE and IFAC, a past Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Control Systems Society, and a recipient of the IFAC High Impact Paper Award, AACC Donald P. Eckman Award, and NSF Young Investigator Award. Jeff has been a plenary/semi-plenary speaker at NeurIPS, World Congress of the Game Theory Society, and IEEE Conference on Decision and Control. He was Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems from 2020-2024. Jeff’s research focuses on decision and control, game theory, and multi-agent systems.
