Areas of specialization
Laboratory/research office Control and Mechatronics Laboratory
My laboratory investigates control technology for application in various systems, including magnetic suspension, aerospace and robotics. In control technology work, we use numerical model expressions reflecting control strategies to achieve target performance. In that framework, we study comprehensive technology for sensing techniques, driving and transforming mechanisms and intelligent computer control.
