About me

 

Foto Stephan Trenn

My name is Stephan Trenn and I am currently an Associate Professor  for “Systems and Control” in the Jan C. Willems Center for Systems and Control (in particular in the SCO-group) at the University of Groningen, Netherlands. My contact details are given on this small website.

My main research interests is the analysis and control of switched differential-algebraic equations (DAEs). In general I am interested in questions of mathematical control theory with a focus on discontinuous effects (switches) as well as on nonlinear adaptive control (in particular, funnel control).
