Speaker: Pramod P. Khargonekar; Tariq Samad

In this talk, we will present a few key highlights drawing on an effort launched by the IEEE Control Systems Society entitled Control for Societal-Scale Challenges: Roadmap 2030 which was published in 2023. We led a subset of this road mapping effort that focused on myriad challenges arising from climate change. We will describe the main findings of our work on the contributions controls technology has already made in decarbonization of the energy sector. More importantly, we will describe current and future opportunities in mitigation, adaptation, and resilience where controls technology is relevant and important. We will conclude by a discussion of broader, cross-cutting issues such as multidisciplinary collaborations, research-to-innovation ecosystem, and educating the future engineering leadership in addressing climate change issues.
