Koen Tiels

Koen Tiels is an Assistant Professor in the Control Systems Technology (CST) group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research focuses on the identification of nonlinear dynamical systems, combining techniques from system identification and machine learning.

• Education
  • Master's in Electromechanical Engineering, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (2010)
  • PhD in Electromechanical Engineering, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (2015)

His work contributes to areas such as magnetic hysteresis modeling using physics-aware neural networks, optimal control design with low computational cost, and kernel-based identification methods for sampled data. He has collaborated with institutions like Uppsala University and TU/e's EAISI (Eindhoven Artificial Intelligence Systems Institute) on high-tech systems and mechatronics.

Recent publications emphasize applications in recurrent neural networks for magnetic hysteresis, sparse modeling of piezoelectric systems, and robust experiment design for MIMO systems. His research aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to clean energy and advanced technologies.
