Reinaldo Martinez Palhares

Reinaldo Martinez Palhares joined the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in 2002 as an Associate Professor in control and automation systems engineering. He received his B.S. degree in electrical (and telecommunications) engineering from the Federal University of Goiás, Brazil, in 1992, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1995 and 1998, respectively. After completing his Ph.D. degree, he was a Postdoctoral Research Associate (1998–2000) and an Associate Professor (2000–2002) at Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, before joining the faculty of the Engineering School's Department of Electronics Engineering at UFMG as an Associate Professor. In a broad sense, his main research interests include dynamic systems and multiobjective optimization theory/applications, robust linear/nonlinear control theory, filtering theory, time delays, and soft computing. In particular, his work has focused on the stability analysis and also the control/filter problem for uncertain systems with multiple performance indexes using LMIs together with alternative nonconvex optimization techniques, fault detection and isolation in dynamic systems, soft computing for control purposes, fuzzy Takagi-Sugeno approaches for nonlinear control, and less conservative time-delay formulations, among others.
