Control and System Theory of Discrete-Time Stochastic Systems

Professor Jan H. van Schuppen gained his PhD from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the University of California at Berkeley in 1973. His research contributions are primarily in control and system theory, in particular in the subareas of stochastic control, filtering, stochastic realization, control of discrete-event systems and of hybrid systems, and control and system theory of rational systems. He has teaching experience at Washington University, University of Illinois, the VU University Amsterdam and University of Technology in Delft. He has acted as research advisor of 12 post-doctoral researchers and of 19 Ph.D. students. His organizational activities include being Co-Editor of the journal Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems, Co-Editor-at-Large of the journal IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, co-editor of two conference proceedings, co-editor of two edited books, coordinator of four projects which were financially supported by the European Commission, and being director of the Dutch Network Systems and Control for the organization of a course program of systems and control for Ph.D. students.
