Bio

Dr. Gumussoy is a senior key expert on Closed-Loop AI at Siemens Technology. His research interests are digital twin modeling, AI-driven control and design and their applications to control of power systems, smart manufacturing, and edge platforms.

He is a Senior Member of IEEE since 2020 and a member of IFAC Technical Committee on Linear Control Systems since 2022. He served as an Associate Editor in IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology (2018-2022) and IEEE Conference Editorial Board (2018-2022).

Software

@Siemens: Jointly architected a reinforcement learning toolbox, SCS-Reinforce, inside Simcenter Studio with Siemens DI SW. Working together for the next cool features for our customers. Implemented new algorithms for tuning and calibration of power systems.

@MathWorks: Key contributions to Reinforcement Learning Toolbox, Robust Control Toolbox, System Identification Toolbox and Control System Toolbox. Some highlights:

@University of Leuven: Designed and implemented a MATLAB toolbox for analysis and control for time-delay systems. The toolbox includes numerical algorithms for H-infinity norm and pseudospectral abscissa computations and H-infinity controller design using nonsmooth, nonconvex optimization methods.

@New York University, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences: Contributed to the MATLAB toolbox for fixed-order controller design (HIFOO). This toolbox solves several key control problems including fixed-order (strong/simultaneous) stabilization, H-infinity & H-2 optimization for mixed problems and multiple plants.
