Dr. Yuri Shardt, an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow from University of Duisburg-Essen, will give a talk on Developing Soft Sensors for Process Control on Monday, February 3, 2014 at 10:00 in room no. 641.

A research position is available at the Institute of Information Engineering, Automation, and Mathematics, STU in Bratislava in the field of embedded optimization-based control. We are seeking an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) to work on implementation of explicit model predictive control on programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The successful candidate will also work on case studies with the employing partner and with other consortium partners. The position is funded by the TEMPO EU FP7 project.

Ing. Juraj Oravec received award Student of the year 2013 at STU in the category PhD student. The award was given by the rector of STU on Monday, 18.11.2013.

Congratulations.
