Background
Adolfo Perrusqu铆a is an expert in reinforcement learning, especially for the control of dynamical systems (eg, robotics, autonomous vehicles). In particular, he is expertise in combining classical nonlinear control theory with recent data-driven learning methods.
He has a MSc and PhD degrees in automatic control from the CINVESTAV-IPN (rank 2 research in Latin America) and the BEng degree in Mechatronic Engineering from the IPN (rank 4 university in Mexico). He has published extensively in employing artificial intelligence techniques applied to dynamical systems. He was awarded by the Mexican Society of Artificial Intelligence with the third place for the best PhD thesis in Artificial Intelligence 2021.
Adolfo Perrusqu铆a joined Cranfield in 2021. He has been appointed Chair of the Task Force on Reinforcement Learning for Robots in the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society. He is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems. He has been awarded by the Royal Academy of Engineering with a UK-IC postdoctoral fellowship in 2021. He is within the Human Machine Intelligence Research Group led by Professor Weisi Guo.
