Research

Currently, the main object of my study is fractional-order calculus and its applications in modeling and control. Other research topics include, but are not limited to:

I am also interested in quantum mechanics and its applications in control. Currently this interest is limited by the philosophical aspects of the theory.

I also have a personal page at ETIS—The Estonian Research Portal—which contains a formal and thorough summary of my academic activities.

Projects

FOMCON

“FOMCON”—Fractional-order Modeling and Control—is my main working project and the name of the corresponding MATLAB toolbox. It is dedicated to research of fractional-order calculus applications to complex system identification and control. You may find more information and download the toolbox from the official website: http://fomcon.net/ (for bleeding edge versions of the toolbox rather see the official page on GitHub.)

Embedded systems

I am mostly interested in microprocessor-based designs. I am capable of producing rather complex device prototypes—from schematic design and printed circuit board layout creation to physical realization and microcontroller programming. So far I have found the Atmel AVR microprocessor family quite useful for a fair number of projects. I have also started developing applications for ARM processors in 2014.

Web applications

I have appreciable experience in developing for the web (including custom websites with lots of hand-coded modules). I love WordPress, since so much useful content can be delivered in a blog-like fashion nowadays and WordPress happens to be the best blogging platform around. I am also very fond of Drupal, as using it allows complex data structures to be easily created, interconnected and presented.

My current working projects:

Teaching

The courses that I teach may be found on my personal page in the education section of the laboratory website. In addition, I am involved in instructor activities in the following ways:

Useful material: Using $\mathrm{\TeX}$/$\mathrm{\LaTeX}$ system in document preparation

Miscellanea

This part is about the things I do in my spare time. If you speak Russian, you can check out my personal blog. Everything else will appear here in due time.

Notes

You can leave me a note. Just double-click anywhere on the following canvas and type your message (which is anonymous by default). The notes that I create are green. I may share some piece of news that way. Inside notes I use the usual red ink, thus you can recognize my writing. I delete expired notes (in order to free up some room for new ones), spam, and also notes the content of which violates the law.
