Teaching

Mechanical Engineering

Teaching doctoral courses in the international graduate school on control - Identification in closed-loop operation and controller reduction (May, 2015) - Adaptive Control: From needs to applications (May, 2014)

Courses

Control systems and discrete-time control

This course includes modelling and analysis of dynamic systems, basic principles and analysis of feedback control systems, controller design in frequency domain (loop shaping) and in state space (linear quadratic regulator), discrete-time systems and digital controller design (polynomial approach).

System identification

Models (classifications, representations). Excitation signals (impulse, step, random, pseudo random). Least Squares algorithm (linear regression, analysis in stochastic case, bias-variance tradeoff). Time-domain nonparametric identification methods (impulse response by the correlation approach). Frequency-domain nonparametric identification methods based on the Fourier and spectral analysis. Pa

Advanced control systems

This course covers some theoretical and practical aspects of robust and adaptive control. This includes H-2 and H-infinity control in model-based and data-driven framework by convex optimization, direct, indirect and switching adaptive control. The methods are implemented in a hands-on lab.
