Expertise: Control systems theory for automotive engineering, mechatronics, motion control
Maarten Steinbuch is Distinguished University Professor in Systems and Control at Eindhoven University of Technology and chairs its Control Systems Technology section. His research ranges from automotive powertrains and clean vehicles to motion control, robotics for surgery and fusion plasma control.
About me
I am is a high-tech systems scientist, serial tech entrepreneur, supervisory board member and keynote speaker. I hold the chair of Systems & Control at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), where I am Distinguished University Professor. Also I am Scientific Director of TU/e High Tech Systems Centre and of Eindhoven Engine. My research spans from automotive engineering (with a focus on connected cars and clean vehicles) to mechatronics, motion control, and fusion plasma control. I am most known for my work in the field of advanced motion control, as well as in robotics for high precision surgery.

Personal Motivation
Three things I like about NEON: Working with people from different disciplines on relevant societal domains, building new things/organisations, inventing new ideas, applying control, connecting people. I really like the alpha, beta, gamma combination and challenges! I also like to extend my modelling knowledge towards applicatons of Agent Based Modelling. Towards a sustainable world, and a lively Brainport region.
Next to being lead applicant I am an expert in
PI, systems thinking, systems and control, modelling power trains and energy systems
