Tyrone Vincent

Professor
Department of Electrical Engineering

My  teaching and research interests are broadly in the area of control systems, but I also teach other courses within the information systems sciences focus area. 

Education

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, University of Arizona, 1992
  • MS in Electrical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 1994
  • PhD in Electrical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 1997

Research

My research interests center around nonlinear estimation and system identification, with applications in several areas:

  • Estimation, system identification and fault detection of nonlinear systems:
    • Identification and estimation in large scale systems
    • Structure and block-oriented system identification
  • Applications of control to energy systems and materials processing:
    • Control of fuel cell systems
    • Monitoring and control of Li-ion battery systems
    • Modeling of aggregations of distributed energy storage elements

Research Assistantship Available

A research assistantship is for Fall 2024 is available for an MS thesis or PhD student in the area of control of combined heat and power generation via a hybrid Solid Oxide Fuel Cell and IC Engine. Applications must have excellent programming skills with knowledge of LabView, good hands-on laboratory skills, have taken courses in control of dynamic systems, and an interest in developing an expertise in solid oxide fuel cells. Knowledge of model predictive control is a plus. Please contact me via the e-mail address described above if interested.
