Welcome!

I am currently Professor and Chair of the Department of Automation Engineering at the Technical University of Ilmenau, Germany, working in the areas of big data, soft sensors, data quality assesment, fault-tolerant systems, and holistic control for application to industrial problems. Also, I am teaching courses in automation engineering, system identification, and discrete event systems.

Previously, I worked at the University of Duisburg-Essen, as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow, in the ceramics and glass-making industry, and at the University of Alberta. In these jobs, my research focused on the development and implementation of advanced control methods for complex and uncertain systems.

New Books

Book Cover for <i>Statistics for Chemical and Process Engineers</i>, second edition.
Book Cover for <i>Automation Engineering</i>.
Book Cover for the German translation of <i>Statistics for Chemical and Process Engineers</i>.
Book Cover for the German translation of <i>Automation Engineering</i>.

I have published two textbooks: one on statistics called Statistics for Chemical and Process Engineers: A Modern Approach and one on automation engineering called Automation Engineering. Both books have been translated into German so that there is a parallel text available. As well, there exist various companion books for the statistical textbook that explain how to solve statistical problems in MATLAB, Excel, and Python (forthcoming). Additional information can be found on the individual pages for each book.
