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.

About the organisation
The faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) uses mathematics, electronics and computer technology to contribute to the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). With ICT present in almost every device and product we use nowadays, we embrace our role as contributors to a broad range of societal activities and as pioneers of tomorrow's digital society. As part of a people-first tech university that aims to shape society, individuals and connections, our faculty works together intensively with industrial partners and researchers in the Netherlands and abroad, and conducts extensive research for external commissioning parties and funders. Our research has a high profile both in the Netherlands and internationally. It has been accommodated in three multidisciplinary UT research institutes: Mesa+ Institute, TechMed Centre and Digital Society Institute.
