Full Professor, Head of Unit, Automation technology and mechanical engineering, Tampere University, Finland.

Experienced Head Of Unit with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education industry. Skilled in Control Theory, Mathematical Modeling, Management. Professor and research professional focused in Automation technology from Tampere University. Professor in control engineering.

Research area is industrial processes and operational processes related to them.
Research is based on control theory and application of it in his research area.

The methods applied are:

• Modelling of dynamic processes, more specifically, creating mathematical models on the basis of first principles and using measurement knowledge,

• The methods of control theory for estimating the states and parameters of controlled processes using measurement data from processes, and

• Methods of control and optimization theories for designing and implementing control solutions using measurement data and state estimates.
