    Development of Model-based Methods and Algorithms:


  • Identification and Validation of nonlinear dynamical systems under uncertainties
  • Optimal Experimental Design and Adaptive Control of linear dynamical sytems und disturbances
  • Analysis Tools (Matlab), e.g. Robustness, Sensitivity, Stability
  • Current Applications:


  • Mechanical, Electrical, and Thermo-optical Systems, e.g. car, Maglev, robotarm
  • Biotechnology (red and white): complex metabolic and signal transduction networks, whole-cell simulation, cancer models, PK/PD modeling, bioprocess optimization
