This talk will give an overview of some recent results in the analysis and control of quantum networks. In the Schrodinger picture, these results include the controllability of Boolean networks induced by measured quantum networks, consensus in quantum networks, and synchronization in quantum networks, In the Heisenberg picture, these results include coherent control of translation invariant linear quantum networks, entanglement and pure Gaussian state realization in linear quantum networks, and consensus in observers for linear quantum networks.

From 1983-85 he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Australian National University. From 1985-2016 he was with UNSW Canberra where he was most recently a Scientia Professor and an Australian Research Council Laureate Fellow in the School of Engineering and Information Technology. He has previously been Australian Research Council Executive Director for Mathematics Information and Communications, Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research for UNSW and an Australian Federation Fellow. Since 2017, he has been a Professor at the Australian National University. He was the Interim Director of the Research School of Electrical, Energy and Materials Engineering at the Australian National University from 2018-2019. He has served as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Systems and Control Letters, Automatica, IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology and SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization. Currently he is an editor for Automatica. He is a fellow of IFAC, the IEEE and the Australian Academy of Science.
