Mircea Lazar

Mircea Lazar is an Associate Professor in the Control Systems group at Eindhoven University of Technology. His research spans constrained control, model predictive control (MPC), and stability analysis of hybrid systems, with applications in power systems, smart grids, and precision mechatronics.

Research highlights include:

• Development of data-driven predictive control methods
• Stability guarantees for nonlinear and hybrid systems
• Applications in water networks, power converters, and mechatronics

He has received the EECI PhD Award and NWO VENI grant. Recent publications focus on real-time MPC implementations, physics-guided neural networks, and optimization for large-scale systems.

Collaborations include ASML, DAF, Philips, and Ford. He chairs the IEEE CSS Technical Committee on Hybrid Systems and has supervised 9 PhD students.
