Need any more encouragement to nominate someone?   Read what last year's winner Alberto Padoan had to say:


"It is a great pleasure and honour to receive the 2018 IET Control & Automation Ph.D. Award. This is a wonderful recognition of the hard work put through during my doctoral training, from which I learnt the joy and beauty of doing research at the highest scientific standards. This recognition also carries prestige and distinction to the entire Control and Power group at Imperial College London, which has been an incredibly fertile environment and constant source of inspiration for my daily academic endeavours. I am now more motivated to pursue my research interests and  demonstrate that theory has a very practical influence on key engineering questions.”
