Bernd Krauskopf is Professor of Applied Mathematics at The University of Auckland. He received an MSc from RWTH Aachen and then a PhD from the University of Groningen. He held temporary positions at Cornell University and Amsterdam before joining the University of Bristol in 1998, where he worked until joining The University of Auckland in 2011. Professor Krauskopf’s research is in dynamical systems theory and its applications, and he has published over 200 academic journal papers. He made fundamental contributions to theory and led impactful research programmes that introduced new techniques to solve real-world problems, including determining the observable dynamics of prototypical laser systems, analysing and improving aircraft ground manoeuvring, and understanding feedback mechanisms in control and climate modelling. Professor Krauskopf has been PI on large grants, including an Advanced Research Fellowship, the Dodd-Walls Centre of Research Excellence and a Marsden grant, and received substantial industry funding.

Sabine Mondié (S’96-M’99) received the B.S. degree in industrial engineering from the ITESM, Mexico City, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from CINVESTAV, Mexico City and IRCyN, Nantes, France, in 1983 and 1996, respectively. She is a professor at the Department of Automatic Control at CINVESTAV, Mexico City, Mexico since 1996, and is currently head of the Department. She has been chair for education, vice-chair of the IFAC Technical Committee 2.2. on “Linear Control Systems” and is a member of the IFAC Council for the 2023–2026 triennium. She has served as Associate Editor for several journals in control, including Systems & Control Letters and European Journal of Control. She is currently Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. Her research work is focused on time-delay systems, their stability and robustness properties, as well as delay applications in engineering and biology. She has directed/co-directed over 18 Ph.D. and 25 master theses and authored/co-authored 80 journal and 130 conference papers.
