Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Müller

Matthias A. Müller received a Diploma degree in Engineering Cybernetics 
from the University of Stuttgart, Germany, and an M.Sc. in Electrical 
and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at 
Urbana-Champaign, US, both in 2009. In 2014, he obtained a Ph.D. from 
the University of Stuttgart for a dissertation entitled "Distributed and 
economic model predictive control: beyond setpoint stabilization". From 
2014 to 2019, he held a lecturer and later senior lecturer position 
(Akademischer Oberrat) at the Institute for Systems Theory and Automatic 
Control at the University of Stuttgart. He joined the Leibniz University 
Hannover as full professor for automatic control and director of the 
Institute of Automatic Control in February 2019.

Matthias Müller's research interests include nonlinear control and
estimation, model predictive control, distributed control and
learning-based control, with application in different fields including
biomedical engineering and robotics. He has received various awards and
fellowships for his work, including the 2015 EECI PhD award (award for
the best PhD thesis in Europe in the field of control for complex and
heterogeneous systems), an ERC starting grant in 2020, and the inaugural Brockett-Willems Outstanding Paper Award
for the best paper published in Systems & Control Letters in the period
2014-2018. He is a member of several technical committees
of the IEEE Control Systems Society and IFAC, and serves as program
committee member and associate editor for various international
conferences, including the Conference Editorial Board of the IEEE
Control Systems Society.
