Michael Mühlebach

Dr. Michael Mühlebach is a Lecturer at the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, ETH Zurich, and affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen, Germany. He holds a Bachelor's (2010) and Master's (2013) from ETH Zurich, recognized with awards for academic excellence in Robotics, Systems, and Control. His research focuses on multibody dynamics, nonlinear system control, and model predictive control, with applications in robotics and aerospace systems.

His work spans theoretical advancements in variational integrators and practical implementations in systems like the Cubli (a reaction wheel-based 3D inverted pendulum) and flying platforms for ducted fan actuation. Publications highlight contributions to model predictive control schemes with stability guarantees, nonlinear analysis, and distributed event-based state estimation.

Key awards include the Outstanding D-MAVT Bachelor Award and Willi-Studer Prize. His research integrates control theory with real-world applications, emphasizing both foundational mathematics and engineering implementations. No grants or lab affiliations are explicitly listed in the provided text.
