Minisymposium at the MATHMOD 2025

The minisymposium "Model- and Data-based Property Control of Forming Processes" organized by Prof. Meurer as part of the DFG SPP 2183 for the MATHMOD taking place from 19 - 21.02.2025 in Vienna was accepted together with all six contributions. The contributions address the whole range of property-controlled forming processes and show new possibilities for the analysis and design of state and parameter estimators as well as controls.

New publication in Nature Scientific Reports

Read our latest research paper in Nature Scientific Reports on artificial homeostatic temperature regulation by bioinspired feedback mechanisms. The results were generated in SFB 1461 in collaboration with Petro Feketa from Victoria University of Wellington (NZ) and Tom Birkoben, Maximiliane Noll, Alexander Schaum and Hermann Kohlstedt from Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel.

DPE Group with 5 papers at the IFAC World Congress 2023

Great success at one of the most prestigious and largest conferences in the field of control theory and control engineering. The DPE group is represented at this year's IFAC World Congress with five accepted papers:

  • D. Ratke, T. Meurer, P. Mark, D. Sanio, and Y. Schwarz: Model-based Estimator Design for the Curing Process of a Concrete Structure.
  • S. Helling and T. Meurer: The Rotary Flexible Joint - A Holistic View from Modeling and Control to Observer Design and Experiments
  • D. Wolfram and T. Meurer: DMD-Based Model Predictive Control for a Coupled PDE-ODE System
  • M. Wrobel, J. Martschin, T. Meurer, and E. Tekkaya: Data-driven Temperature Estimation for a Multi-Stage Press Hardening Process
  • P. Jerono, J.J. Winkin, A. Vande Wouwer, and A. Schaum: Indistinguishability analysis and observer design for size-structured cell populations

Congratulations to all successful authors!
