About us Practical matters

Staff members with discipline Mathematics, Applied

Academia develops at the interface of different fields. This is one reason why the University of Groningen is home to a wide range of fields, each with a great number of subject specialists. The overview below, which is based on a standard categorization of fields, will help you find the right expert for each field. If you cannot find the expert you are looking for in this list, try searching via a related field or faculty; you may find him or her there.

Overview of all disciplines

Multi-energy networks, hybrid (switched and impulsive) systems, feedback optimization, passivity-based control, dissipativity theory, observer design, nonlinear control, Lyapunov-based methods, input-to-state stability analysis, time delay systems, and robust control of biomedical systems.

Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Systems and Control
At the faculty BSS, I am employed on the chair Applied Statistics and Data Visualisation. 
My research focuses on the development of statistical models for applications in the social sciences. These models often contain dynamic or longitudinal components. Furthermore, I’m interested in science communication - for which data visualisation plays a key role - and the improvement of scientific practice in general.

Furthermore, I'm Director of Research of the Heymans Institute for Psychological Research.

Professor
I have more than 20 years of experience in the fields of oil & gas, petrochemistry and higher education. My degree in mechanical engineering allowed participating in many major engineering projects around the world, but I also developed myself in numerical simulation techniques while doing my PhD in engineering: firstly on topics related to my academic career (Fluid Mechanics/CFD), and then in the area of oil recovery processes (EOR/IOR).

Her research area covers order reduction methods for networks and nonlinear control systems in order to make control design and implementation feasible for complex nonlinear systems. Furthermore, she studies the design of nonlinear  and often distributed controllers for complex applications, using passivity and dissipativity concepts, as well as optimization methods. Examples of such systems can be found in industry, robotics, micro systems, semi-conductors, space applications, smart energy systems and smart grids.
