Three thesis awards granted
Recently three thesis awards have been awarded to researchers at the Faculty of Science and Engineering (formerly known as the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences):
Marko Seslija
has been awarded the DISC (Dutch Institute of Systems and Control) PhD Thesis Award 2014. The main topics of his doctoral research were concerned with the system-theoretic modeling and energy-shaping control of multi-physics systems (distributed port-Hamiltonian systems described by coupled ODEs and PDEs), and their structure-preserving discretization.
