Sofie Haesaert is an Assistant Professor in the Control Systems group of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology. Her research interests lie in the development of verification and control synthesis methods for cyber-physical systems.  She does research on how “Intelligent systems learn to function safely via sensor data” (VENI, Dutch Talent program) and how  artificial intelligence and situational awareness can be developed and used in mixed autonomy (https://www.symaware.eu/).   

She leads the formal methods for control of cyber-physical systems research group and the lab on autonomous motion control. Sofie Haesaert holds a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and a master's degree in Systems and Control from Delft University of Technology, both cum laude.   Haesaert obtained her PhD from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in 2017 and then went to Caltech (USA) to do a postdoc. Since 2018 Haesaert is Assistant Professor in the Control Systems group.
