Senior🎓
Top SchoolGergely Takács is a senior research engineer and academic with a PhD in mechatronics who specializes in computationally efficient model-based control and estimation for active vibration control. He has led research teams and taught MPC and embedded systems, authored a Springer book and numerous papers, and built an open-source hardware/software platform now used by multiple universities. His work spans practical implementation on microcontrollers, state and parameter estimation (EKF, MHO), and smart-material actuators such as piezoelectrics and shape memory alloys, with award-winning papers at IFAC and EAA. After a visiting stint at Oxford studying predictive control, he transitioned to industry at Garrett advancing automotive controls while continuing mentorship and applied research. Known for preferring elegant, simple solutions to complex problems, he combines hands-on prototyping with rigorous theory to deliver cost-efficient control hardware and demonstrators. Based in Slovakia, he blends deep academic credentials with eight years of focused industry and university experience.
