Contacts

Balázs Csanád Csáji
We collaborate on an algebraic approach towards reproducing kernels. His research interest include: Computer Science (Statistical Machine Learning, Resource Allocation Problems), Mathematics (Control Theory, Stochastic Processes, Approximation Theory), and Philosophy (Philosophy of Science, Foundations of Mathematics, Logic).

Brian D. O. Anderson
His research interests have included many contributions in the area of circuits, signal processing and control, and currently his work focuses on distributed control of multiagent systems, sensor network localization, adaptive and nonlinear control. To this date he has written 10 books and over 800 papers. Due to the resulting lack of time he speaks only 5 languages among them German, French, Japanese and Spanish.

Jan C. Willems
The inventor of the behavioral approach towards dynamical systems. An approach that is not based on the input output paradigm and studies properties of the solution set of various types of equations (ODEs, PDEs, etc.) in an intrisic and thus representation free manner. His home page provides enough slides and lecture notes on this rich circle of ideas to educate yourself. He's the one that got me interested into Control.

Jean-Charles Delvenne
We collaborate on characterizations for behaviors. His research interest include: Markov chains, Large Graphs, Information and Control Theory, Distributed Systems and Control, Decidability, Turing Universality.

Michel Gevers
My Ph.D. Supervisor. His Ph.D. Supervisor was Thomas Kailath. The home page offers detailed information about his research on system identification, multivariable systems, adaptive and robust control, identification for robust control as well as the numerous projects that he is involved in. He's also author of several books among them Parametrizations in Control, Estimation and Filtering Problems.

Paul A. Fuhrmann
Fuhrmann's book A Polynomial Approach to Linear Algebra is fundamentaly different from other algebra books around. This is due to his constant endeavor to motivate abstract constructions using the language of system theory. Behind the link are many interesting papers regarding his major interests in Algebraic System Theory, Behaviors, Observer Theory and Functional Models.

Pierre-Antoine Absil
My second Ph.D. Supervisor. His research interests include numerics on manifolds, numerical optimization, dynamical systems, automatic control and time series analysis. The page offers publications as well as selected talks. He's author of the book Optimization Algorithms on Matrix Manifolds which develops the theory of manifolds with strong emphasis on computational aspects.

Wolfgang Utschick
Head of the Associate Institute for Signal Processing at the Technical University in Munich. I remember how his vivid and inspiring lectures merged signal processing, numerical linear algebra and probability theory, putting us students on the frontier of current research.
