Rate My Professor Sonja Stuedli

Dr Sonja Stuedli is a research academic in the School of Engineering at the University of Newcastle, Australia. She obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) in 2008 and her Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from ETH Zurich in 2011. She completed her Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering at the University of Newcastle in 2016, focusing on distributed load management supporting power injection and reactive power balancing.

Her research interests include smart grid operations, networked systems, multi-agent systems, distributed control, consensus systems, control engineering, reinforcement learning, and networked control. Stuedli has authored or co-authored numerous publications, including the book "Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle Networks: Optimization and Control" published in 2018 with co-authors E. Crisostomi, R. Shorten, and F. Wirth. She contributed the book chapter "Distributed load management using additive increase multiplicative decrease based techniques" in 2015. Key conference papers include "Plug-and-Play Networks: Adding Vertices and Connections to Preserve Algebraic Connectivity" (2021), "Model Predictive Control for Wind Turbines to Enhance Low Voltage Ride Through Capability" (2021), "On the Design of a Novel Control Algorithm and Communication Structure for Discrete-Time Multi-Agent Consensus Systems" (2020), "Scalable Controller Design for Discrete-Time Multi-Agent Consensus Systems" (2020), "Disruption via grounding and countermeasures in discrete-time consensus networks" (2020), "Stability of Grid-Connected Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator-Based Wind Turbines" (2018), "Coordinated Control for Low Voltage Ride Through in PMSG Wind Turbines" (2018), "Vehicular Platoons in cyclic interconnections with constant inter-vehicle spacing" (2017), and "On the modified AIMD algorithm for distributed resource management with saturation of each user's share" (2015). Her work spans electric vehicle charging strategies, wind turbine control, vehicular platoons, and consensus networks in control systems.
