Eduardo Fontoura Costa is currently Associate Professor of the Departamento de Matemática Aplicada e Estatística at the University of São Paulo. He received both the BEng and MEng degrees from University of São Paulo (Brazil), and the PhD in Electrical Engineering from University of Campinas (Brazil) in 2002. Eduardo was a postdoctoral researcher at the Imperial College London during 2007. His research interests lie in the areas of control and filtering of dynamical systems, with special focuses on structure of systems, detectability, stabilizability, and stability of stochastic systems and nonlinear systems.

This research focus on systems whose parameters change in an abrupt fashion, which are usually referred to as jump parameter systems, and form a well known class of systems with applications in different areas. We present seven research topics organized in four groups. ``Filtering of Markov jump systems'', ``singular systems with jumping parameters'' (these two are our main research areas…
This research deals with stochastic systems with a clear emphasis on linear systems with Markov jump parameters and some of their applications. The research topics presented here are in different stages of development, many of them have started in the last one or two years and some will start soon, as described in the text. The work will be conducted mainly by our team at ICMC-USP, with c…
The project aims to finance a short visit of Pro. Chávez to ICMC USP to continue an ongoing research in collaboration with EESC USP, as well as to develop other research activities including lectures and possible participation in the program summer at ICMC. The research involves analysis of the stability of descriptor systems with jumps and calculus of metrics of performance of controlle…

Dynamical systems can be applied in various fields and have been extensively studied for decades. In particular, Linear Dynamical Systems with parameters subject to Markovian jumps (hereafter referred to as SLSM) are linear systems whose dynamics change abruptly, following a Markov chain, which helps to model practical situations, such as sensor or actuator failures. SLSMs feature a nice …
This research project focus on the study and simulation of control of linear systems with markovian jumps in the parameters, and its application in a robotic system. This system is an omnidirectional robotic platform applied in robot soccer, developed by the research and extension group \emph{Warthog Robotics} of the São Carlos School of Engineering and the Mathematics Computer Science In…
This work addresses the implementation of optimal control for fuel consumption in internal combustion vehicles. The solution has been obtained in a theoretical level using dynamic programming, in preceding works of our group, and it has been implemented in a rather simple system called speed advisor, which informs the ideal speed to the driver, leading to a reduction of about 5% of fuel i…
This project deals with control of internal combustion engine vehicles aiming at the fuel consumption optimization, including the interference of some real phenomena, with a strong emphasis on traffic. Stochastic events like this prevents us to directly apply existingresults. We propose to employ a relatively simple system with Markov jumping parameters as a model for the vehicle subject …

Observers for dynamical systems is an important issue, since it is quite difficult to deal with practical situations in which all states are perfectly known. In this work plan, we introduce different research topics concerning a fundamental aspect (stability) of observers for different classes of systems. Those topics present inherent theoretical interest and also practical applications. …
