Torsten Jeinsch

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Torsten Jeinsch is Professor and Chair of Control Engineering at the University of Rostock, Germany, where he also serves as Head of the Application Center for Control Engineering (AZR) within the Institute of Automation Technology. He is affiliated with the Interdisciplinary Faculty (INF), Department of Maritime Systems, and maintains a dual research focus on theoretical control systems and practical maritime applications.

His research program spans theory-oriented work in digital control (optimization of sampling processes), adaptive systems, optimal control, and fault-tolerant systems, alongside application-oriented research in automotive systems, medical technology (including the Rostock Anesthesia Assistance System), maritime technology, and energy systems. The maritime research is particularly extensive, covering large-scale underwater monitoring, autonomous rescue systems, and integrated control for large ships.

Professor Jeinsch's recent publications reveal a strong emphasis on sampled-data systems theory and maritime control applications, with consistent advancement in autonomous vessel navigation, collision avoidance algorithms, and parameter estimation for ship maneuvering models. His work bridges fundamental control theory with practical engineering challenges in multiple domains.

Professional affiliations include:

• Board member of the Department of Maritime Systems (INF)
• Head of Application Center Control Engineering (AZR)
• IFAC Technical Committee Marine Systems
• IFAC Technical Committee SAFEPROCESS (Fault Detection)
• DAAD Selection committee for USA/Canada

His teaching portfolio covers Fundamentals of Control Engineering, Selected Applications, Control Systems/Automation, Fault Diagnosis, Computer-Aided Controller Design, Modern Methods of Control Engineering, and Modeling and Simulation of Technical Systems, reflecting his broad expertise across theoretical and applied control engineering.
