Dariusz Horla

Professor Dariusz Horla is a faculty member at the Faculty of Automation, Robotics and Electrical Engineering at Poznań University of Technology, where he works in the Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence. He holds the title of Professor with a habilitation degree (dr hab. inż.) in automation and control engineering.

His research focuses on advanced control systems, particularly anti-windup compensation techniques, model predictive control applications for nuclear power plants, UAV control systems, and fractional-order controllers. Professor Horla has published extensively across these domains, with recent work addressing challenges in cooperative control systems, optimization methods for control applications, and practical implementations of advanced control algorithms in real-world systems.

Analysis of his recent publications (2015-2025) reveals a strong emphasis on practical control applications, particularly in nuclear power plant systems and unmanned aerial vehicles. His work bridges theoretical control methods with industrial implementation challenges, often focusing on optimization approaches and stability considerations in constrained systems.

Professor Horla has supervised multiple doctoral students and has developed significant educational materials in control systems and automation. His intellectual property contributions include inventions related to UAV height control systems, demonstrating the practical impact of his research.

His academic service includes participation in habilitation committees and development of educational materials that have shaped control engineering education at Poznań University of Technology.
