Bio Statement
Sebastian Trimpe is a Full Professor (W3) at RWTH Aachen University, where he heads the newly founded Institute for Data Science in Mechanical Engineering (DSME) since May 2020. Research at DSME focuses on fundamental questions at the intersection of control, machine learning, networks, and robotics. Before moving to RWTH, Sebastian was a Max Planck and Cyber Valley Research Group Leader (W2) at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen/Stuttgart. Sebastian obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2013 from ETH Zurich with Raffaello D'Andrea at the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control. Before, he received a B.Sc. degree in General Engineering Science in 2005, a M.Sc. degree (Dipl.-Ing.) in Electrical Engineering in 2007, and an MBA degree in Technology Management in 2007, all from Hamburg University of Technology. In 2007, he was a research scholar at the University of California at Berkeley. Sebastian is recipient of the triennial IFAC World Congress Interactive Paper Prize (2011), the Klaus Tschira Award for achievements in public understanding of science (2014), the Best Paper Award of the International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (2019), and the Future Prize by the Ewald Marquardt Stiftung for innovations in control engineering (2020).
