Stephan Trenn

Stephan Trenn serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Systems, Control and Applied Analysis at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Groningen, Netherlands. His academic profile centers on advancing theoretical frameworks for complex dynamical systems, with particular emphasis on differential-algebraic equations and switched systems within control theory.

His primary research interests include Control Theory, Differential-Algebraic Equations, Switched Systems, Observability and Controllability, Nonlinear Systems, and Impulsive Systems. Trenn's work addresses fundamental challenges in solution theory, stability analysis, and control design for systems exhibiting switching behavior and algebraic constraints, contributing significantly to the understanding of descriptor systems and hybrid dynamics.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2024-2025) reveals consistent trends in extending funnel control methodologies to impulsive switched systems, developing model reduction techniques for switched differential-algebraic equations, and analyzing discrete-time switched descriptor systems. His research demonstrates a strong integration of theoretical control frameworks with practical engineering applications, particularly in power converters, grid stability, and safe continual learning systems.
