System Identification

My main research interests are

• system identification, in particular subspace identification methods
• polynomial system solving
• distance measures for models, including the so-called subspace angles between models

Biography

I received a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering in 1996, a Teaching Degree in Applied Sciences in 1997 and a PhD degree in Engineering in 2002 from the K.U.Leuven in Belgium. I was a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY from January 2003 until August 2004, where I worked with Prof. Petar Djuric. From October 2004 until December 2007, I was a post-doctoral researcher at ESAT-SCD. Since September 2018 I am a scientific collaborator at STADIUS in the group of Prof. Bart De Moor.
