Professor Jan H. van Schuppen gained his PhD from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the University of California at Berkeley in 1973. His research contributions are primarily in control and system theory, in particular in the subareas of stochastic control, filtering, stochastic realization, control of discrete-event systems and of hybrid systems, and control and system theory of rational systems. He has teaching experience at Washington University, University of Illinois, the VU University Amsterdam and University of Technology in Delft. He has acted as research advisor of 12 post-doctoral researchers and of 19 Ph.D. students.  His organizational activities include being Co-Editor of the journal Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems, Co-Editor-at-Large of the journal IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, co-editor of two conference proceedings, co-editor of two edited books, coordinator of four projects which were financially supported by the European Commission, and being director of the Dutch Network Systems and Control for the organization of a course program of systems and control for Ph.D. students.

“The book is written for students in applied mathematics and engineering with an interest in control theory and its application in various contexts … . All chapters offer numerous examples … all contain hints to further reading and end with a specific list of references. The way the book is organized and written, it is suited as textbook for university courses and seminars at master and Ph.D. level, as well as for self-instruction.” (Heinrich Hering, zbMATH 1478.93005, 2022)
