Philipp Braun

Dr. Philipp Braun is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering at The Australian National University (ANU), Canberra. He holds a Diploma in Mathematics from Technical University Kaiserslautern (2012) and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Bayreuth (2016). Prior to ANU, he served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Bayreuth (2016–2018) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Newcastle, Australia (2016–2020).

His research focuses on applied dynamical systems and control theory, including nonsmooth control Lyapunov functions, numerical construction of control Lyapunov functions, obstacle avoidance, distributed optimization, and smart grid applications. Recent projects include work on hybrid systems, pursuit-evasion algorithms, and sensor-based navigation for robots.

Dr. Braun has contributed to over 20 peer-reviewed articles and led projects such as Control at What Cost? One-Shot Real-Time Dual Inverse Optimal Control (2025–2027) and Solution Concepts and Performance Guarantees in Partial Information Multi-Player Games (2024–2027). His work bridges theoretical advancements with practical applications in robotics, energy systems, and environmental modeling.

Key awards and recognitions are not explicitly listed, but his extensive publication record reflects significant contributions to control theory and robotics. Supervision of research students is ongoing, though specific advisee names are not documented in the provided texts.
