Hi, I’m Martin Gugat from Germany. I got my Bachelor and Doctor degrees in Mathematics from RWTH Aachen, Nordrhein-Westfalen (1990). I got promoted at Universität Trier, Rheinland-Pfalz, DE as scientic assistant (1990-2000), Habilitation Angewandte Mathematik (1994-1999) and Dr. rer. nat. (1990-1994).
I worked at Technische Universität Darmstadt (2000-2003) and from 2013 to present I am Academic Director at FAU Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Bavaria – Germany.
As Akad. Dir. at the Chair for Dynamics, Control and Numerics – Alexander von Humboldt Professorship at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg my research interest are Optimal boundary control of hyperbolic systems, boundary feedback stabilization, Optimal Control, Optimization, Uncertainty.

PhD defenses
• June 20th, 2022 | Member of the Committee. On June 20th, 2022 I participated as a member of the Committee in the doctoral examination of Andreas Bernhard Sebastian Brendel with the topic “From blind to semi-blind acoustic source separation based on independent component analysis”. He obtained the degree of Dr.-Ing. at the Technical Faculty of FAU under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Walter Kellermann.
• October 20th, 2021 | Referee at PhD defense. On October 20th, 2021 on the PhD defense at Université de Bordeaux (France): “Modelling, analysis and control of same water waves-rigid body interactions” by Gaston Vergara-Hermosilla I did as referee joint Marius Tucsnak, Ludovick Gagnon, Yann Legorreck, M. Takéo Takahashi, Franck Sueur, Hans Zwart.
• January 22nd, 2021 | PhD Examining Committee. On January 22nd, 2021 I did as examiner of the PhD Committee on the Murad Muradi PhD defense, under the supervision by Prof. Rolf Wanka, about: “Heuristic algorithms for the automatic generation of process-time-optimized robot programs in the field of multi-robot systems” at Werner-von Siemens lecture hall of the Technical Faculty at FAU Erlangen.
