Researchers

Associate Professor Johan Löfberg

Johan graduated in 2003 and then spent 3 years at the Automatic Control Laboratory ETH in Zurich. His main research interest is in the application of parametric, bilevel, and robust optimization in MPC. Significant research efforts are also spent on the modeling language YALMIP which serves as a platform for much of his research.

Assistant Professor Daniel Axehill

Daniel received his PhD degree in February 2008. Starting in 2009, Daniel held a post-doc position for 2 years at the Automatic Control Laboratory at ETH Zurich. Daniel's current main research interests are real-time MPC, parametric optimization, and parallel computations for hybrid MPC.


Phd students

Daniel Simon is an industrial Phd student (from Saab) working in the project Control law development for constrained systems. Daniel is supervised by Johan Löfberg and co-supervised by Torkel Glad.

Isak Nielsen is a Phd student financed by the the Swedish Research Council (VR) and CENIIT. Isak is co-supervised by Daniel Axehill while his main supervisor is Anders Hansson. Isak's current research interest is efficient methods for real-time MPC.


Former Phd students

Peter Rosander was a Phd student financed by the Process Industry Centre. Although not funded primarily for MPC research, he investigated various MPC strategies in buffer tank management. Peter was co-supervised by Johan Löfberg while his main supervisor was Alf Isaksson. Peter is currently on leave to work at SAAB.
