Dr. Hans Zwart

Biography

Hans Zwart is a Full Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Mechanical Engineering department, specializing in Dynamics Control. He chairs the Dynamics Control group and leads research in control analysis of systems described by partial differential equations and/or time delay differential equations. His work primarily emphasizes the development and analysis of controllers for linear systems, leveraging mathematical techniques from functional analysis and Hamiltonian dynamics. His expertise extends to partial differential equations, Hilbert space, observability, transfer functions, and Dirac structures. Zwart has fostered long-lasting collaborations with research groups in Besançon, Lyon, and Wuppertal. Additionally, he holds a professorship in Physical Systems Control at the University of Twente, where he heads the Hybrid Systems Chair within the Department of Applied Mathematics. He is co-author of significant works in his field, including "Introduction to Infinite-Dimensional Systems Theory" (with R. Curtain) and "Linear Port-Hamiltonian Systems on Infinite-Dimensional Spaces" (with B. Jacob).
