Introduction

I am a control engineer with an emphasis on understanding and improving the whole system. In my carreer I have always searched for the solution that makes the system behave optimal. This can be done by changing the feedback control optimising the response required or by changing the hardware of the system itself.I use a research oriented approach and the ability to combine computer models with experimental measurement data through system identification or machine learning is what I like best.
