Biography

Thomas Meurer (Senior Member, IEEE) received the diploma in Process Systems Engineering from the University of Stuttgart, Germany in 2001, the M.Sc. in Engineering Science and Mechanics from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA in 2000, and the Doctor of Engineering degree from the University of Stuttgart in 2005. From 2005 to 2007 he was a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Chair of System Theory and Automatic Control at the Saarland University, Germany. In 2007 he joined the Automation and Control Institute at the TU Vienna, Austria as a Senior Researcher, where he was appointed Associate Professor (Privatdozent) in 2012. Since 2012 he has been Full Professor and head of the Automatic Control Group at Kiel University, Germany. He is Associate Editor for the journals Automatica, IEEE Control Systems Letters, and Mathematical Control and Related Fields. He was chair of the IFAC TC 2.6 on Distributed Parameter Systems from 2011 to 2017 and has been chair of the TC 1.40 Systems Theory and Automatic Control of the VDI/GMA since 2017 and the IEEE-CSS TC Distributed Parameter Systems since 2019. He received the VDI/GMA Eugen Hartmann Award in 2009, the Cardinal Innitzer Award in 2012, the IFAC Congress Best Interactive Paper Prize at the 2017 IFAC World Congress, and the Control Engineering Practice Paper Prize Award in 2020. His research interests include control of distributed parameter systems, nonlinear control theory, observer design, and optimal control with applications in robotics, production processes, mechatronics, marine systems, and process systems engineering.
