Profile

Miguel Torres-Torriti is Associate Professor at Department of Electrical Engineering, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, teaching control systems, sensors, actuators and robotics. He received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in 1996 and 1998, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in systems and control from McGill University, Montreal, Canada, in 2003.

Between 1998-2003 his research at McGill’s Center for Intelligent Machines focused on the stabilization of strongly nonlinear underactuated systems. During 2000-2001 he was also a research assistant for Lockheed Martin Canada in SAR imagery classification. From 2004 to 2005, he was Senior Applications Engineer with General Electric Chile in the implementation of the multivariable process controllers for the ENAP Bío Bío and Magallanes refineries. In 2005 he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering of the School of Engineering of PUC Chile, where he is currently Associate Professor. Dr. Torres-Torriti has been the Director of the undergraduate program in Robotics Engineering (2013-2022), Associate Dean of Social Responsibility (2014-2016), Associate Dean of Technology (2016-2022), and is currently the Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Engineering of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. His fields of experience comprise systems modeling and control, estimation, machine learning, robot dynamics, mechatronic design, sensors and perception. His current research projects include the development of sensing, motion planning and control strategies for mobile manipulators.

Dr. Torres-Torriti was the local chair for the 18th International Symposium on Robotics Research (ISRR17) in December 2017. He is currently serving as Associate Editor for the Autonomous Systems area of the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems.
