Jakub Novák

Jakub Novák is a Researcher at the Faculty of Applied Informatics, Tomas Bata University in Zlín, with a focus on modeling and control of nonlinear systems, embedded systems, and predictive control. He works at the Regional Research Center CEBIA-Tech and previously at the Research Center for Applied Cybernetics.

• Education: Ph.D. in Applied Informatics (2007) and Master's degree in Technology (2002) from Tomas Bata University/Brno University of Technology
• International experience at Politecnico di Milano (2003) and Strathclyde University (2004)

Research interests center on nonlinear system modeling, predictive control algorithms, and embedded control system implementation. His work includes applications in magnetic levitation, coupled drives, and chemical thermal processes. He has developed Simulink models for educational purposes and contributed to tools like LM Toolbox for local model networks.

Publication trends show a strong emphasis on predictive control (14+ papers) and nonlinear system modeling across various platforms including magnetic levitation plants and twin rotor MIMO systems. He has contributed to real-time control solutions and mixed-integer programming implementations.

Advising includes supervising 5 master's theses and 7 bachelor's theses since 2006. Collaborations with Petr Chalupa (55+ co-authored works) and Vladimír Bobál (33 co-authored works) indicate long-term research partnerships.
