Rate My Professor Lorenzo Ntogramatzidis

Associate Professor Lorenzo Ntogramatzidis is a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics within the School of Electrical Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Curtin University in Perth, Australia. He has been employed full-time at Curtin since 2009, commencing as an Australian Research Council (ARC) Australian Postdoctoral Fellow before advancing to his current senior position. Prior to this appointment, Ntogramatzidis worked as a Research Associate in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Melbourne from August 2005 to December 2008. His academic qualifications include a Laurea degree cum laude in Computer Engineering awarded on December 13, 2001, and a PhD in Automation and Operations Research completed on May 19, 2005, both from the University of Bologna, Italy.

Ntogramatzidis specializes in systems and control theory, with focused interests in dynamical systems, geometric control theory, optimal control problems with constraints, multidimensional systems, and signal processing. He contributes to the Centre for Optimisation and Decision Science and has secured major funding through ARC grants, including an ARC Future Fellowship in 2012 worth $545,528 for developing a geometric theory addressing modern optimisation problems in control and estimation, as well as an earlier ARC Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship. In recognition of his contributions, he received the Western Australia Young Tall Poppy Science Award in 2011. His scholarly output includes influential publications such as 'Some new results in the theory of negative imaginary systems with symmetric transfer matrix function' (2013), 'A geometric theory for 2-D systems including notions of stabilisability, detectability and disturbance decoupling' (2008), 'The Discrete-Time Generalized Algebraic Riccati Equation: Order Reduction and Solutions' Structure' (2014), 'Nonundershooting linear multivariable tracking controllers' (2011), 'Structural invariants for implicit two-dimensional systems' (2011), 'Self-Bounded Subspaces for Nonstrictly Proper Systems and Their Application to the Disturbance Decoupling With Direct Feedthrough Matrices' (2008), and 'Exact Tuning of PID Controllers in Control Feedback Design' (year not specified). These works, published in leading journals like Automatica and IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, have amassed over 1,800 citations on Google Scholar, underscoring his impact on the control theory community.
