SHORT BIO
Jan is a data scientist in the Physics and Computational Sciences Division (PCSD) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. His current research focus falls in the intersection of deep learning, constrained optimization, and model-based optimal control. Before joining PNNL, Jan was a postdoc at KU Leuven, Belgium, where he was working on the implementation of model predictive control (MPC) in real-world office buildings. Jan has a PhD in Control Engineering from the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Slovakia. His PhD thesis was on Model Predictive Control with Applications in Building Thermal Comfort Control with the focus on explicit and learning-based MPC.
