Colin Jones is an associate professor in the field of optimal control, with a focus on optimization and model predictive control. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering and mathematics from the University of British Columbia and later earned his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge, where he conducted research on polyhedral computational methods for constrained control. Prof Jones has been an associate professor at the école Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne since 2017, and has previously held positions as an assistant professor at the EPFL and a senior researcher at the ETH Zürich. In addition to his research, Colin is the director of the Robotics control and intelligent systems doctoral program at the EPFL. He has published over 200 papers and has been recognized for his work on optimal control of building networks with an ERC starting grant. Colin's current research interests include high-speed predictive control and optimization, as well as the control of green energy generation, distribution, and management.
