Faculty
Shengling Shi
Assistant Professor
I am an Assistant Professor at the Delft Center for Systems and Control, TU Delft. Before joining the faculty, I was a postdoctoral associate at MIT and a postdoctoral researcher at TU Delft. I received my PhD in 2021, advised by Prof. Paul M. J. van den Hof, and my MSc with distinction in 2017, both from the Control Systems Group at Eindhoven University of Technology. During my master's studies, I completed a research internship at ETH Zurich. I obtained my bachelor's degree from Harbin Institute of Technology. I have served as an associate editor for the IFAC World Congress and the IFAC Symposium on System Identification. I am also a member of the IFAC Technical Committee on Modelling, Identification and Signal Processing.
