"The overall goal of my research is to develop simple yet rigorous methods to solve problems of engineering significance"
"We want to find a self-optimizing control structure where acceptable operation under all conditions is achieved with constant setpoints for the controlled variables. More generally, the idea is to use the model off-line to find properties of the optimal solution suited for (simple) on-line feedback implementation"
