Research Interests

Learning-based Control

Data-driven Stochastic MPC

Successfully implementing MPC schemes heavily relies on the accuracy of the underlying system model, which can be difficult to identify in general. We study the integration of direct data-driven control concepts into Stochastic MPC frameworks for the efficient control of unknown systems in uncertain environments. The control of power grids, building climate, and quadrocopter are a few potential fields of application of the proposed controller.
