Linear Systems: Theory and Applications (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789819697731)

Dr. SooJean Han is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at KAIST and the Director of the Autonomous Control for Stochastic Systems (ACSS) lab. Her interests lie broadly in the realm of combining model-based tools and data-driven AI for robust and adaptive control of stochastic systems. Her research spans a wide range of applications including motion-planning, distributed sensing and control, reinforcement learning, resource-allocation and scheduling, and decision-making for networks and multiagent systems. ACSS also maintains active collaborations with the AFOSR AOARD, the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) in Korea, as well as with faculty at KAIST, Seoul National University, and Kyung Hee University. As of 2025, Dr. Han and her team have published dozens of manuscripts in top-tier conferences (e.g., IEEE CDC, L4DC) and top-tier journals (Automatica, IJRNC, IEEE TAC). She has also developed and taught courses for a wide variety of subjects, including linear systems (for which this book is being written), probability and stochastic processes, optimal control, and stochastic control. She is currently serving as an Associate Editor in the IEEE RA-L journal, and has served in the past as an Associate Editor for IROS2025 and a Chair for CDC2024. Prior to KAIST, Dr. Han completed her Ph.D. in Control and Dynamical Systems at Caltech in Jan 2023, and was supported by the Caltech Special EAS Fellowship and the NSF GRFP. She received her B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Applied Mathematics at UC Berkeley in 2016. She was also a research assistant in the Hybrid Systems Lab at UC Berkeley, and a research affiliate of Team CoSTAR for the DARPA subT Challenge at NASA JPL.
