Piotr Tatjewski, since 1993 professor at the Warsaw University of
Technology, 1996-2008 director of the Institute of Control and
Computation
Engineering (before 1994: Institute of Automatic Control) at the
Faculty
of Electronics and Information Technology. His research interests
concern
structures and algorithms of automatic control of technical processes.
In the last decade he was interested mainly in multilayer control and
advanced
control algorithms, especially predictive control algorithms based on
linear
and nonlinear models, including fuzzy and neural net models. His
research
interests include also optimization algorithms, mainly
measurement-based
optimization under uncertainty. He published also several papers on
decomposition-coordination
optimization methods, suitable for distributed, large-scale processes.
Prof. Tatjewski was involved in several research and application projects concerning
control and optimization of industrial processes
and
water distribution networks, design and implementation of model predictice control algorithms. He worked at Technische Universitaet
Hanover,
at City University, London and at University of Birmingham, England. He
coordinated several team research projects of KBN (Polish Commiteee of
Scientific
Research) and MNiSW (Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education). Reviewer of European Research Council. In 1994-1997 he was coordinator and contractor of the EU
TEMPUS
project "Information Technology for Control and Decision Support -
Curriculum
Develpoment". He is author or co-author of over 45 journal
papers and book chapters, over 70
published conference papers and 5 books, including the book written
together with Prof. M.A. Brdys
"Iterative Algorithms for Multilayer
Optimizing Control" edited by Imperial College Press/World Scientific
Publ. in 2005 and the
monograph "Advanced Control of Industrial Processes"
edited
in 2007 by Springer-Verlag London (modified and extended version of the
book originally published in Polish in 2002).
Member of Committee of Automatics and Robotics of PAN (Polish Academy
of Sciences), chairmen of Section of Automatic Control
Systems of
this Committee.
Member of PolSPAR (Polish Society of Measurement, Automatic
Control and Robotics), vice-chairman of Automatic Control Committee of
PolSPAR.
Member of EUCA (European Union Control
Association) Administrative Council, from 2007.
