Short CV

Research interests:
- Optimal control of nonlinear systems
- Modeling and parameter identification of robotic applications

Background:
In September 2017, Hannes Homburger received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from DHBW Stuttgart. Subsequently, he gained experience working for 2.5 years as a control specialist for machine tool drives at Siemens AG Stuttgart. In September 2021, he graduated with a master's degree in electrical engineering from HTWG Konstanz, where he is now a research assistant at the Institute of System Dynamics. In recent years, Hannes Homburger received several teaching assignments in the field of control engineering at the DHBW Stuttgart and HTWG Konstanz.
