Dr Isabelle Queinnec, from LAAS in Toulouse, will be presenting us a seminar on Wednesday July 03 at 2pm. It will be in room 301 of the Electrotechnical building. Check the title and abstract of the seminar below.
Title: Modelling bio(techno)logical systems for automatic control
Abstract: The objective of this talk is to make a link between some classical tools in control theory (state-space models, stability analysis, identification, observation and control...) and biochemical processes (from biotechnology to waste-water treatment processes). Main classical ideas relative to modelling of biochemical processes are given in the first part of the talk, with several examples to illustrate the key principles. The second part is then related to some identification and identifiability properties and structural analysis of the models, with particular focus on stability, controllability and observability properties. This explains why control is not so much used in biochemical industry. Then, a short third part of the talk gives a quick look about observation and control.
