In this episode we have Prof. Jeffrey Miller interviewing Professor Petros Ioannou, both based at the University of Southern California. Petros Ioannou is such a reputed colleague in the field, for example for his contributions to adaptive cruise-control systems. He has been recently appointed as EiC of the IEEE Transactions on ITS.
Our partner, Professor Miller did conduct a marvellous interview at Professor Ioannou’s office, so we have this amazing piece of information right from the front.
If you want to jump to the interview it starts at 22’38”.
