Portrait of Mircea Lazar

Biography: Mircea Lazar is a Full Professor on Constrained Control of Complex Systems in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), The Netherlands. He received the Dipl.Ing. and MSc degrees in Control Engineering from the “Gh. Asachi” Technical University of Iasi, Romania, and the PhD degree in control systems from TU/e in 2006, for which he received the EECI PhD Award for the best thesis in Europe on Control of Complex and Heterogeneous Systems. He was a visiting professor at Boston University, the University of Stuttgart and Université Grenoble Alpes. His research focuses on model predictive control, Koopman operator theory for data-driven control, stability of nonlinear and hybrid systems, and optimization methods for control, with applications ranging from high-tech systems to power networks. He chaired the IEEE CSS Technical Committee on Hybrid Systems (2011-2016), is Chair of IFAC TC 2.3 on Non-Linear Control Systems, and serves as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. He has supervised 15 PhD students and published more than 70 journal papers.
