Chemnitz University of Technology is a cosmopolitan university with strong regional, national and international networks. It is home to about 2,300 academic and administrative employees as well as more than 9,600 students from about 90 countries. It is thus the third largest university in Saxony. In terms of the proportion of foreign students, Chemnitz University of Technology occupies a top position among state universities nationwide.
The research in the lab of Professorship Automatic Control and System Dynamics focuses on development of control theoretic methods in the following areas:
The research in the lab has a strong focus on controller development for the full cycle starting from system modelling to the end application. The particular topics also include advanced techniques of data analysis and classification along with model uncertainty assessment. Special attention is paid to complex and hierarchical systems, where consistency between control and subroutines for different system layers is of particular interest. Concrete control methods in turn include model predictive control, reinforcement learning, adaptive dynamic programming and other optimal control methods, with a special focus on learning aspects. Mathematical proofs and analysis of e.g. robustness properties of control methods in the presence of uncertainties is a part of virtually every new control method developed in the lab. We also try to bridge the gap between theory and computer implementation by explicitly dealing with computational uncertainty related to the imperfections of controller implementation in digital and analog devices. For this sake, the lab works on a variety of mathematical methods which explicitly incorporate the said uncertainty and subsequently aim at developing a basis of formally correct and automated controller extraction.

As a versatile energy carrier, hydrogen plays a key role in the energy transition and climate protection efforts. In mobile, fuel cell-powered applications, especially in commercial and agricultural vehicles, an energy management system is required to efficiently manage the energy flow from the battery and fuel cell. In the research project with industrial and academic partners, an optimal energy management system is to be developed. Tasks include:
