Your task will involve working on a doctoral project on the topic of LPV approximations of nonlinear systems for controller design. The main idea is to design linear but parameter-dependent approximations of nonlinear systems, incorporating model order reduction and control theory. The objective is to develop a general method for nonlinear feedback control of large-scale or even infinitedimensional systems. This project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), which means that there is a clearly outlined, positively evaluated, and promising path to the success of the overall project at the candidate’s disposal.

One of the goals of the project is the academic qualification of the candidate until completion of the Ph.D. in Mathematics. Relevant support, in addition to the direct supervision by Dr. Jan Heiland, is provided through the group of Prof. Karl Worthmann with, among others, currently 5 PhD students.
