Abstract

In this talk we will survey recent advances in model reduction. We will concentrate on the optimal H2 method and on the method of model reduction directly from data using the Loewner framework. In addition we will show how the Loewner framework can
extended to handle reduction of systems depending on parameters. 

Biographical Information

Thanos Antoulas was born in Athens, and studied at the ETH Zurich. He is currently affiliated with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Rice University, and with the School on Engineering and Science, Jacobs University, Bremen.

Professor Antoulas was elected Fellow of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) in 1991. He has served on the Editorial Board of many journals including the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, and
Linear Algebra and its Applications. For the past 15 years he has been serving as Editor-in-Chief of Systems and Control Letters.

His research interests are in the broad area of dynamical systems and computation including model reduction of large-scale systems. He is the author of a book on the Approximation of large-scale systems, published by SIAM.
