Background

About Thomas Voss

Thomas Voß was born in Goch, Germany. He studied Information Technology (Computing) at the University of Wuppertal, in Germany, where he obtained the Masters degree in 2005. His graduation thesis was done at the Philips research laboratories Eindhoven (Natlab) and was entitled „Model-reduction for nonlinear differential-algebraic equations for circuit simulation“. Since 2006, Thomas Voß has been working on his Ph.D. Thesis „Port-Hamiltonian Modeling and Control of Piezoelectric Beams and Plates – an application to inflatable space structures“. This research has been performed under the supervision of Prof.dr.ir. J.M.A. Scherpen first at TU Delft and later at the University of Groningen. During his Ph.D. research Thomas Voß also obtained the DISC certificate for fulfilling the course program requirements of the Dutch Institute for Systems and Control. Currently he is with the Control Systems Group at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of TU/e. Specialties: modeling, structure preserving spatial discretization and control of finite and infinite dimensional port-Hamiltonian systems and (structure preserving) model order reduction of linear and nonlinear systems
