Mireille Esther Broucke is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Toronto,interested in control theory,mathematical systems theory,and swarm robotics. [1] [2]
Broucke did her undergraduate studies at the University of Texas at Austin,where her father Roger A. Broucke,an immigrant from Belgium,was a professor of aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics. [3] She graduated in 1984,with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. She went on to graduate study in electrical engineering and computer science at the University of California,Berkeley,earning a master's degree in 1987, [1] with summer jobs working on missile tracking software for Texas Instruments,General Dynamics,and Lockheed Corporation. [2]
After completing her master's degree,she stayed in the San Francisco Bay Area,working on software for control systems and simulation at Intergraph and Integrated Systems. [2] She returned to Berkeley for a Ph.D.,which she completed in 2000. [1] Her dissertation,supervised by Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli,was Qualitative Analysis,Model Checking,and Controller Synthesis of Hybrid Systems. [4] After postdoctoral studies at Berkeley she joined the Toronto faculty in 2001. [1]
