Our colleague doc. Ing. MSc. Martin Klaučo, PhD. was nominated among the 5 ESET Science Award 2023 finalists in the category Outstanding Personality of Science under the age of 35. Laureates of the ESET Science Award are selected on the basis of a demanding evaluation process that takes into account the entire complex of criteria, such as the contribution of their scientific and research work to society, scientific performance, measurable scientometric data, participation in the solution of important international research projects, or the visibility of Slovak science and research abroad. The award ceremony will take place on October 12 at 8:10 p.m. viewers can watch it live on RTVS. Congratulations!

We are coauthors of a new paper in the prestigious international scientific journal Computers & Chemical Engineering:

Martin Mojto - Karol Ľubušký - Miroslav Fikar - Radoslav Paulen: Data-Based Design of Multi-Model Inferential Sensors

The paper presents the design of inferential sensors, incorporating multiple linear models. The state-of-the-art methodology is enhanced to ensure continuous model switching and optimize the labeling of training data. This contribution is a result of our industrial cooperation with the refinery Slovnaft, a.s. in Bratislava, Slovakia. The publisher Elsevier provides open access to new research articles for 50 days to help share the current results.

Specialist-oriented magazine „ATP Journal“ published an article introducing a novel design of our smart greenhouse VESNA and its role in education. The article was published (in Slovak) in both, online and printed versions (pp.30-31).

The full paper contributions presented at the 24th International Conference on Process Control are already available at the IEEE Xplore.

On Friday, August 18, 2023, PhD students Michaela Horváthová and Martin Mojto defended their dissertation theses. Congratulations!

Dr. Michaela Horváthová defended her PhD thesis on "Energy-Efficient Advanced Robust Control Design" supervised by Assoc. Prof. Juraj Oravec.

Dr. Martin Mojto defended his PhD thesis on "Data-driven Design of Linear Soft Sensors" supervised by Assoc. Prof. Radoslav Paulen.
