General research interests: Optimization and Control, in
particular algorithms for embedded optimization and model predictive
control (MPC), nonlinear-, convex-, and robust optimization.
Aim of our research at
OPTEC is to develop tailored optimization algorithms for applications
in mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering, including
real-world experiments.
