معرفی
Ismail Ahmed, M.Sc., is a Researcher at the Chair of Control Engineering (Lehrstuhl für Regelungstechnik) under Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Boris Lohmann at the Technical University of Munich's School of Engineering and Design. He has been working at TUM since April 2020, with previous research positions at the Technical University of Lübeck (May 2019-March 2020) and the University of Paderborn (January 2018-March 2019).
Dr. Ahmed's educational background includes a Master's degree in Mechatronics from the University of Paderborn (2016-2019), a Diploma scholarship in Mechatronics at the Information Technology Institute in Cairo (2014-2015), and a Bachelor's degree in Electromechanics from Alexandria University, Egypt (2009-2014).
His research focuses on nonlinear control, model order reduction, and optimal control with specific applications in freeform bending processes. His work centers on developing control systems for geometry and mechanical properties during tube manufacturing, with particular attention to residual stress management. Ahmed is actively involved in the Priority Program 2183 of the German Research Foundation (DFG-SPP 2183) focusing on 'Property-controlled process design of free-form bending taking into account semi-finished product properties.'
Analysis of his publication record from 2021-2025 reveals a consistent research trajectory in applying advanced control techniques to manufacturing processes, particularly freeform bending. His work demonstrates increasing sophistication in integrating predictive modeling, soft sensors, and optimization strategies to control both geometric and material properties in real-time manufacturing environments.
As an educator, Ahmed teaches practical courses in 'Modern Methods of Control Engineering' and 'Computer-aided control design,' focusing on hands-on experiments with physical systems. He currently supervises at least one Bachelor's thesis on Model Predictive Control applications for freeform bending processes.
His research is conducted within the Control Engineering Chair environment at TUM, which appears to have strong connections to industrial manufacturing applications and collaborates with multiple research groups working on mechanical systems, model reduction techniques, and interconnected systems.
