The Chair of Automatic Control (Lehrstuhl für Regelungstechnik) at FAU is part of the Department Electrical Engineering (EEI) of the Faculty of Engineering.
Our research activities focus on the analysis, modeling, control, and optimization of dynamical systems with applications ranging from mechatronics and robotics to process control and energy related applications. We have a long-time experience with bringing research into practice and maintain close and successful cooperations with industrial partners. We are responsible for the education in control engineering within the bachelor and master programs at FAU and therefore also cross the bridge towards the other departments of the Faculty of Engineering.
In the research project “OXO-LOHC: Autotherme und ultratiefe Wasserstoff-Freisetzung aus LOHC-Systemen”, two innovative approaches are being investigated to significantly increase the efficiency of hydrogen release from liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) systems. This project is led by the Helmh...
