Richard Seeber

Richard Seeber is a Researcher at the Institute of Control and Automation (Institut für Regelungstechnik und Automation) at TU Graz. His academic titles include Privatdozent (Priv.-Doz.), Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.), Doctor of Engineering (Dr.techn.), and Bachelor of Science (BSc). His work focuses on advanced control theory, nonlinear systems, and observer design. He holds a teaching authorization in system dynamics and control theory, reflecting his dual role in research and education.

Research interests include robust exact differentiators, sliding mode control, observer design for linear and nonlinear systems, and applications in thermal management and energy systems. He has contributed to methodologies addressing actuator saturation, discretization challenges, and real-time control implementation. His recent work emphasizes predefined-time convergence algorithms and stability analysis under bounded noise or disturbances.

Selected projects involve heater modeling for fuel cell stacks, frequency converter nonlinearity compensation, and control strategies for biomass furnaces. His contributions are often applied to industrial systems requiring precise control under uncertainty, such as gas engine power plants and transient operating conditions.

He collaborates within TU Graz's Institute of Control and Automation, contributing to both theoretical advancements and practical tool development. His research portal (https://irt.tugraz.at/) hosts publications and tools related to robust control methodologies.
