Maryam Kamgarpour is an associate professor in the School of Engineering of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Prior to joining EPFL, she served as a faculty at the University of British Columbia and at ETH Zürich. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley and a Bachelor of Applied Science from the University of Waterloo, Canada. Her research focuses on developing theory and algorithms for control and learning in stochastic and multi-agent systems, as well as inverse control and learning, and mechanism design. These theoretical directions are motivated by control challenges in intelligent transportation systems, robotics, and power grid applications.

She has been awarded the European Union Consolidator Grant (2026-2031), the 2024 European Control Award, the European Union Starting Grant (2016-2021), an IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems Outstanding Paper  (2022), NASA High Potential Individual Award (2010) and NASA Excellence in Publication Award (2010). She is an ELLIS Fellow and an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control.
