The general area of the project is "Multiple Model Approaches to
Nonlinear Modelling and Control". The candidate is expected to
contribute in one of the following specific topics:
- Identification of multiple model systems; this includes experiment
design and utilization of prior knowledge
- Optimization-based process control (model predictive control) using
multiple models, case studies with examples from process industry
- Methods for interpolation of models and knowledge in multiple
model systems
- Gain scheduled nonlinear control design and analysis using linear
matrix inequalities
The project will be defined to include one or more of the above topics
depending on the candidates background and interests. The research
will include theoretical studies, software development and application
studies. In addition, there may be some teaching responsibilities. The
