Jörg Raisch

Jörg Raisch is a Professor of Control Systems at the Technische Universität Berlin, affiliated with the Faculty IV - Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Institute for Energy and Automation Technology. He holds the chair of "Fachgebiet Regelungssysteme" since March 2006.

Raisch studied "Technische Kybernetik" (Engineering Cybernetics) at Stuttgart University, Germany, and Control Systems at UMIST, Manchester, UK. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Stuttgart University, followed by postdoctoral work at the University of Toronto and a DFG fellowship for his habilitation (1998). He established a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg and served as an External Scientific Member since 2002.

His research spans control theory, discrete event systems, max-plus algebra, and applications in energy systems and robotics. Recent work focuses on clock drift effects in low-inertia power systems, iterative learning control, and distributed control for microgrids. His publications highlight methodologies for timed event graphs, probabilistic behavioral distances, and wind turbine optimization.

From 2007–2013, he represented Germany in the European Control Association (EUCA). He served on editorial boards of journals like Automatica and IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology. He held leadership roles in IFAC Technical Committee TC1.3 as Vice-Chair (2014–2017, 2020–present) and Chair (2017–2020).
