Professor Ruth Bars

Professor Ruth Bars graduated at the Electrical Engineering Faculty of the Budapest University of Technology, Hungary. She has got the doctor of the university degree, and gained the Candidate of Sciences degree of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and PhD degree based on research on predictive control algorithms. Currently she is honorary professor at the Department of Automation and Applied Informatics at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Her research interests are in predictive control and in developing new ways of control education. She has more than 100 publications. She is the coauthor of book Predictive Control in Process Engineering, from the basics to the applications by R. Haber, R. Bars, U. Schmitz, WILEY-VCH, 2011. She is teaching different basic and advanced control courses. She has published with co-authors several university lecture notes and textbooks including MATLAB exercises for control education. She was the coauthor of professor Frigyes Csáki writing the first Hungarian textbook entitled Automatika, which had 6 editions. Recently a new textbook has been published with coauthors on the basics of control engineering including also newer conceptions (in Hungarian and in English). In 1983 she participated in the project of the NSF and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences on computer control of industrial processes at the University of Minnesota, USA. In 1999, 2003 and 2006 she was a visiting lecturer at the Helsinki University of Technology, Finland and in 2002 at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette, USA giving short PhD courses in predictive control. In 2008 she participated in a Marie Curie project at the University of Sevilla related to predictive control. Between 1996 and 2002 she was the head of the IFAC TC on Optimal Control. From 2002 to 2008 she served IFAC as the head of the Coordinating Committee on Design Methods. She has gained the Frigyes Csáki medal of the Hungarian Scientific Society for Automation, Measurement Technics and Informatics, 1990 and the award for excellent work from the Ministry of Education. In 2008 she has gained the IFAC Outstanding Service Award.
