Professor Paul Goulart

Professor and Tutor in Engineering Science

Paul Goulart joined St Edmund Hall in 2014 as a Tutorial Fellow in Engineering Science. His teaching focuses mainly on topics in engineering mathematics, electrical engineering, control and signal processing.

Paul received his SB and MSc degrees in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Following his undergraduate studies he was a software developer in the flight operations centre for the Chandra X-Ray Observatory at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, and later an engineer in the Autonomous Systems research group at the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory.

In 2003 he was selected as a Gates Scholar at the University of Cambridge, where he received a PhD in Control Engineering in 2007. From 2007 to 2011 he was a Lecturer in control systems in the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College London, and from 2011 to 2014 a Senior Researcher in the Automatic Control Laboratory at ETH Zurich. He is currently a member of the Control Group in the department of Engineering Science.

Paul’s research interests are mainly in robust and high speed optimisation and control, with a wide range of application areas including fluid flows, economics and traffic networks.
