Lesgevers / sprekers
Jan Swevers was born in Leuven, Belgium, in 1963. He M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering and the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the KU Leuven, Belgium, in 1986 and 1992,
respectively. He is full professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of KU Leuven, and coordinates the MECO research team (Motion Estimation, Control and Optimization). His research focuses on motion control and optimization of mechatronic systems: optimal control of multivariate systems, iterative learning control, system identification, optimal motion planning and embedded optimization for motion systems. He is a member of the DMMS core-lab of Flanders Make, which is the strategic research center for the manufacturing industry inFlanders, Belgium.
Panagiotis (Panos) Patrinos is associate professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT) of KU Leuven, Belgium. In 2014 he was a visiting professor at Stanford. He received his PhD in Control and Optimization, M.S. in Applied Mathematics and M.Eng. from the National Technical University of Athens in 2010, 2005 and 2003, respectively. After his PhD he held postdoc positions at the University of Trento and IMT Lucca, Italy, where he became an assistant professor in 2012. His current research interests are in the theory and algorithms of structured convex and nonconvex optimization and predictive control with a focus on large-scale, distributed, stochastic and embedded optimization and a wide range of application areas including automotive, aerospace, machine learning, signal processing and energy.
ADAS R&D manager, with focuses on algorithms development and testing, validation in automotive industry. Has been managing technology development for mechatronics, automotive systems; and currently leading a R&D team of research engineers and industrial PhDs at Siemens Digital Industries, working on engineering topics in control, AI, and autonomous driving.
