Prof. Brian D. O. Anderson visited the Department of Automatic Control
Recently, the Department of Automatic Control had a distinct pleasure to host prof. Brian David Outram Anderson. During his stay, prof. Anderson has been awarded a medal for his merit for the Gdansk University of Technology by the Rector Prof. Jacek Namieśnik.
During his stay at the Gdansk University of Technology, Prof. Brian D.O. Anderson gave several lectures for GUT employees, Ph.D. candidates, and students, but the main goal of his visit was to establish scientific cooperation in the field of new and very promising techniques of nonstationary identification of stochastic processes, which is a new field of study developing in the Department of Automatic Control.
Professor Brian D.O. Anderson, who is the Emeritus Professor of The Australian National University and Distinguished Professor of Hangzou Dianzi University (China) - is a truly outstanding researcher in the field of system and network theory. His research interests have included many contributions in the area of circuits, signal processing, and control, and currently, his work focuses on distributed control of multiagent systems, sensor network localization, and econometric modelling. He is the author of 10 internationally renowned books and more than 1100 papers in the most prestigious scientific journals (more than 65 in the past 5 years). His Hirsch index exceeds 100. Prof. Anderson is the recipient of numerous prizes, awards, and distinctions, including 7 honorary doctorates, and fellowships of the Royal Society of London, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), Australian Academy of Science and American National Academy of Engineering.
