Short presentation
I am an Associate Professor of Automatic Control. My current research goal is to help bridge existing gaps between nonlinear control theory and real-world control applications.
My research interests include control applications (for instance, in robotics), energy-based methods for modeling and controlling physical systems, and pure control theory.

Biography
Pablo Borja earned his bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and his master's degree in Electrical Engineering, specializing in control systems, from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), Mexico, in 2011 and 2013, respectively. Then, he obtained his PhD in "Automatique" from Paris-Sud University (now Paris-Saclay), France, in 2017. From October to December 2015, Pablo was a visiting PhD student at the Institute of Cyber-Systems and Control at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. From January to February 2016, he was a visiting PhD student at the Johann Bernoulli Institute at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. From 2017 to 2021, Pablo was affiliated with the University of Groningen, first as a postdoctoral researcher (until 2018), and later as a fellow of the Faculty of Science and Engineering. From 2021 to 2022, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Cognitive Robotics at TU Delft, the Netherlands. From 2022 to 2026, Pablo was appointed as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Control Systems Engineering at the University of Plymouth, UK. As of October 2026, he serves as an Associate Professor of Automatic Control at Uppsala University, Sweden.
Pablo has served as an associate editor for several international conferences, including RoboSoft and the ECC, and currently serves as an associate editor for the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L) journal.
Research
My main areas of expertise are passivity-based control and port-Hamiltonian systems. Currently, I am interested in developing performance-oriented nonlinear control strategies for physical systems.
