Sašo Blažič received the B.Sc., M. Sc., and Ph. D. degrees in 1996, 1999, and 2002, respectively, from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana. His research interests include adaptive, fuzzy and predictive control of dynamical systems and modelling of nonlinear systems. Recently, the focus of his research has moved towards the areas of autonomous mobile systems, mobile robotics, and the control of satellite systems.
