Research

Control and system theory is my research area. The general focus is on fundamental problems of system theory, system identification, and control of distributed/decentralized dynamic systems. Particular research topics of the last years include: realization of rational systems, realization of hybrid systems, system identification of polynomial and rational systems; control of distributed/decentralized systems (linear systems, Gaussian systems, discrete-event systems), control of piecewise-affine hybrid systems. Applications in the following areas are active: systems biology, control of motorway networks, control of dike-levels.
