Biography
Research Profile
I am an Associate Professor in the Control Systems (CS) Group at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology. My main research interests include the measurement and data-driven modeling of nonlinear dynamical and linear parameter-varying systems using system identification and machine learning techniques, experimental design, and frequency-domain methods in identification. I was awarded a FWO Ph.D. Fellowship in 2011, an EU - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship in 2018, and an ERC Starting Grant in 2022. I am one of the organizers of the nonlinearbenchmark.org initiative promoting the use of common datasets in the development of data-driven nonlinear dynamical system modeling approaches.
Academic Background
I received a Master’s Degree in electrical engineering and a Ph.D. degree in engineering from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Brussels, Belgium, in 2010 and 2015 respectively. From 2015 to 2017, I was a Post-Doctoral Researcher with the ELEC Department, VUB. In October 2017 I joined the Control Systems research group, TU/e, Eindhoven, The Netherlands as a Post-Doctoral Researcher. I started as an Assistant Professor in 2018 in the same research group, I am an Associate Professor in the same group since 2023.
