Roland Toth

Roland Toth is a Full Professor in the Control Systems Group within the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research bridges Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) modeling and control, focusing on system identification, machine learning integration, and industrial applications.

• BSc/MSc in Electrical Engineering/Information Technology from University of Pannonia (2004)
• PhD in Control Engineering at TU Delft (2008)
• Postdoctoral experience at TU Delft (2008-2010) and UC Berkeley (2010-2011)
• Academic career progression: Assistant Professor (2012), Associate Professor (2018), Full Professor (2024)

Roland’s work explores LPV models as intermediaries between Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) systems and nonlinear dynamics. Key research areas include:

• Data-driven modeling for industrial applications
• Fusion of machine learning and model-based control
• Automated controller design algorithms
• High-precision mechatronic systems
• Smart Process Operations and Control (SPROC)

His publications (2010-2018) emphasize prediction-error frameworks, series-expansion representations, and practical implementations across chemical processes and mechatronics. Awards include the 2016 grant for LPV modeling and control synthesis innovations.

Roland contributes to education through courses on robust control, stochastic processes, and machine learning for systems, while leading the Autonomous Motion Control Lab and collaborating with EAISI High Tech Systems.
