About us

The Center

The Center for Control Systems and Dynamics (CCSD) at UC San Diego integrates, at a fundamental level, system design, modeling, and control disciplines, including applications to robotics and aerospace engineering, to obtain improved performance of the dynamic response of engineering systems using feedback. 

CCSD's students and faculty work on theoretical advances in different areas, including nonlinear control, system identification, multi-agent systems, delay systems and PDE control, hybrid dynamical systems, optimization, and data-driven control. Their technological focus includes power networks, robotics, semiconductor manufacturing, traffic, aerospace vehicles, and numerous other application domains.
