Modelling and Control of Dynamic Systems Using Gaussian Process Models

Juš Kocijan is a senior research fellow at the Department of Systems and Control, Jozef Stefan Institute, the leading Slovenian research institute in the field of natural sciences and engineering, and a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia. His past experience in the field of control engineering includes teaching and research at the University of Ljubljana and visiting research and teaching posts at several European universities and research institutes. He has been active in applied research in automatic control through numerous domestic and international research grants and projects, in a considerable number of which he acted as project leader. His research interests include the modelling of dynamic systems with Gaussian process models, control based on Gaussian process models, multiple-model approaches to modelling and control, applied nonlinear control, Individual Channel Analysis and Design. His other experience includes: serving as one of the editors of the Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence journal and on the editorial boards of other research journals, serving as a member of IFAC Technical committee on Computational Intelligence in Control, actively participating as a member of numerous scientific-meeting international programme and organising committees. Prof. Kocijan is a member of various national and international professional societies in the field of automatic control, modelling and simulation.
