Manuel Mazo works as a post-doctoral researcher in the area of Control Systems at INCAS³ and at the Department of Discrete Technology and Production Automation at the University of Groningen.

His research focuses on setting the theoretical basis for modern control implementations. This encompasses the formal study of digital, networked, and embedded control systems. In 2010, Manuel earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of California at Los Angeles, USA.

His thesis was on distributed, event-triggered control systems and the use of symbolic models to control Cyber-Physical Systems. He also holds a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, a “Civilingenjör” degree in Electrical Engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, and an “Ingeniero” degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain. He has been awarded several academic scholarships and grants, such as the Henry Samueli Scholarship from the University of California and the MECD/UCLA Fellowship for postgraduate students, a joint scholarship from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Education and the University of California. Manuel’s research interests are in cyber-physical systems, hybrid systems, distributed control, embedded control software synthesis, and the application of these theories in sensor-actuator networks.
