Scholar-generated biography
Mireille Broucke is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto, specializing in mathematical system theory and geometric control theory. Her research focuses on the development of control strategies for multi-agent systems, including the coordination of mobile autonomous agents and vehicle formations. She has explored topics such as cyclic pursuit, formation stabilization, and fault-tolerant control for automated highway systems. Her work also addresses hybrid systems, bisimulation, and verification, as well as the geometric and structural aspects of control systems. Broucke's research has contributed to the understanding of reachability, structural stability, and trajectory selection in complex dynamic systems.
