Port-Hamiltonian Systems 2019

Spring School on Theory and Applications of Port-Hamiltonian Systems
31 March 2019 – 5 April 2019, Fraueninsel (Chiemsee)

The port-Hamiltonian approach allows for the structured modelling of complex, interconnected and heterogeneous multi-physical systems. It is the basis for control methods, which exploit the underlying physical structure or impose desired energetic behaviour in closed loop. The international spring school PHS 2019 targets PhD students, and advanced Master students from engineering and applied mathematics, who are interested in the state of the art and current research topics in the fields

  • control of distributed parameter systems
  • structure-preserving numerical methods for multi-physics systems
  • port-Hamiltonian formulation of irreversible thermodynamic processes.

The School is organized by Paul Kotyczka (TUM), Bernhard Maschke (University Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France) and the Franco-Bavarian University Cooperation Center (BayFrance) in Munich.
