Victor M. Preciado is an Associate Professor and Graduate Chair in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is affiliated with the Networked & Social Systems Engineering program, the Warren Center for Network & Data Sciences, and the Applied Math and Computational Science program. Victor received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was a recipient of the 2017 National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the 2018 Outstanding Paper Award by the IEEE Control Systems Magazine, and a runner-up of the 2019 Best Paper Award by the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering. His main research interests lie at the intersection of Networks, Dynamics, and Data Sciences; in particular, in using innovative mathematical and computational approaches to model and control complex, high-dimensional dynamical systems. Relevant applications of this line of research can be found in the context of socio-technical networks, healthcare operations, critical technological infrastructure, and brain dynamics.
