This topic is centred around model reduction of port-Hamiltonian systems, both concerning analysis and application.

The aim is to develop reduced-order models of port-Hamiltonian systems while preserving the structure of the original system. For the explicit construction of the reduced-order model, recent methods utilizing model reduction on manifolds and machine learning techniques will be reviewed and further methods will be developed/newly created. This project lies in the interface between analysis, numerical mathematics and machine learning.

The position will be supervised by Dr. Silke Glas and will be part of the Mathematics of Systems Theory group headed by Prof. Hans Zwart within the Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Twente.
