Past PhD Students

Seven Ph.D. candidates brought to a successful defense (as of the beginning of 2026):

Surname and name Title of the thesis Year Opponents
Do Loi Data-driven Control of Interconnected Physical Systems 2026
Gurtner Martin Distributed optimization for multi-object manipulation by shaping spatial force fields 2023
Michálek Tomáš Micromanipulation Using Dielectrophoresis: Modeling and Real-Time Optimization-Based Control 2020
Zemánek Jiří Distributed manipulation by controlling force fields through arrays of actuators 2018
Herman Ivo Scaling in vehicle platoons (co-supervised with Michael Šebek) 2017
Řezáč Martin Inertial stabilization, estimation and visual servoing for aerial surveillance 2014
Šprdlík Otakar Detection and Estimation of Human Movement Using Inertial Sensors: Applications in Neurology 2012
Augusta Petr Spatially Invariant Systems: Modelling, Analysis and Control Via Polynomial Approach 2011

Almost all the doctoral students have spent some four months in a lab of some partners abroad (University of Twente, University of Southampton, Technical University in Eindhoven, FEMTO-ST Besancon, LAAS CNRS Toulouse). All graduated with at least one paper published in a good (SCI) journal. The opponents of the candidates’ final theses were well-recognized expert from top universities or research institutions abroad (Edinburgh, FEMTO-ST Besanon, UCSB, KTH, Max Planck Stuttgart, Linköping, Southampton, …).
