Lennart LG Blanken

Lennart LG Blanken is a part-time Assistant Professor in the Control Systems Technology group at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He also works at Sioux Technologies in the Mechatronics department since 2019, focusing on applications in the semiconductor and printing industries. His academic background includes a cum laude MSc in Mechanical Engineering (2015) and a PhD (2019) from TU/e, both centered on control systems.

• Education: MSc (2015) and PhD (2019) in Mechanical Engineering from TU/e.

Research Interests: His work spans advanced feedforward control, learning control, repetitive control, and system identification, with applications in mechatronic systems. Key topics include frequency domain analysis, noncausal systems, and nyquist frequency.

Article Trends: Recent publications (2024-2025) emphasize frequency-domain methods in multirate systems, kernel-based learning for parameter-varying control, and finite-time iterative learning control. Applications focus on hard disk drives, wafer stages, and industrial printers.

Collaborations: He collaborates with institutions like Philips Innovation Services (MSc project) and Canon Production Printing (PhD project), alongside ongoing industry partnerships through Sioux Technologies.
