Data Driven Model Learning for Engineers (PDF)

Guillaume Mercère received the M.S. degree in electrical engineering in 2001, the Ph.D. degree in automatic control (Lille University) in 2004 and the "Habilitation à diriger des Recherches" in 2012. Since September 2005, he has been an Associate Professor at Poitiers University, Poitiers, France, and a member of the Automatic Control and Electrical Engineering Laboratory of Poitiers. He was chair of the Electrical Energy Optimization and Control Department, Poitiers National School of Engineering, between 2010 and 2015. He was the co-leader of the French Technical Committee on System Identification between 2008 and 2014, then the chair of the IEEE CSS Technical Committee on System Identification and Adaptive Control between 2016 and 2019. He is currently an Associate Editor on the IEEE CSS Conference Editorial Board. He is the co-author of more than 80 international conference and journal papers. He has held visiting appointments at the University of Iceland, Nova Southeastern University in Florida (USA) and Politecnico di Milano in Italy. His main research interests include model learning and system identification theory, estimation theory, optimization theory, subspace-based identification for 1D and nD models, gray box and linear parameter varying system identification with a specific attention to state space models. His current activities focus on heat transfer, flexible and cable driven manipulators, aeronautics, vehicle tire/road interactions and image processing.
