Alum Marcos Vasconcelos to join FSU faculty this fall

This fall, alum Marcos Vasconcelos (ECE Ph.D. 2016) will join the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Florida State University as a tenure-track assistant professor. At Maryland, Vasconcelos was a student of Professor Nuno Martins (ECE/ISR).

Since early 2021 Vasconcelos has been a research assistant professor with the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative at Virginia Tech’s Arlington, Va., research center. From 2016 to 2020 he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Southern California, working with Prof. Urbashi Mitra.

His research interests are in network systems, particularly cyber-physical systems; game theory; and distributed estimation, control and optimization. Currently, Vasconcelos works on team decision problems where multiple agents, often with limited communication, sensing, and computational power, collaborate to perform a given task. He designs optimal strategies in team decision problems motivated by applications in cyber-physical and biological systems.
