Research programme: Systems and Control
Training topic: Modeling and control of dynamic systems

The objectives of the proposed research topic for PhD project are to develop methods for dynamic system modelling based on machine learning methods like kernel methods or to improve the existing data-driven modelling procedures to be better suited for the targeted application. The models obtained are meant for different applications, each representing a potential PhD project, which are as follows.

  • Modelling of spatiotemporal systems using Gaussian processes and image or video forecasting, e.g., for modelling pollution dispersion
  • Designing of adaptive and robust control systems that handle signal and safety constraints in complex dynamic systems.
