Research

My research is in the areas of system theory, signal processing, and control. Its distinct feature is using behavioral approach, developed 40 years ago by Jan C. Willems, see

• 2022 IEEE Control Systems Magazine tutorial,

• 2021 Annual Reviews in Control overview, and

• 2019 Springer monograph.

More specifically, my expertise is in

• structured low-rank approximation and completion,

• direct data-driven methods, and

• system identification.
