About

Moritz Schulze Darup is a control systems researcher whose work sits at the compelling intersection of cryptography, privacy, and modern control theory. He is best known for his pioneering contributions to **encrypted control** — a field concerned with enabling secure computation of control algorithms over networked and cloud-based systems without exposing sensitive data. His 2021 paper, "Encrypted Control for Networked Systems: An Illustrative Introduction and Current Challenges," has garnered 123 citations and stands as a defining reference in the field, making the complex interplay between homomorphic encryption and control systems accessible to a broad engineering audience. His work addresses real-world applications including smart grids, building automation, robot swarms, and intelligent transportation systems — domains where data privacy is increasingly critical. More recently, Schulze Darup has extended these ideas toward privacy-preserving cooperative control in multi-agent systems, demonstrating the scalability of encrypted methods to distributed optimization frameworks. His earlier work on tailored model predictive control (MPC) for mobile robots further reflects a versatile research portfolio bridging theoretical rigor with practical deployment. Overall, his research is shaping the foundations of secure, privacy-aware control for the next generation of networked cyber-physical systems.
