Arnold Sterle

I studied my bachelor's and master's programs in electrical engineering at RWTH Aachen University and two semesters at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Towards the end of my bachelor's program, I discovered my enthusiasm for control engineering, leading to my bachelor's thesis about controlling an actuator for the pelvis of an  exoskeleton at the chair for medical information technology (MedIT). For my master's thesis, I developed a model predictive controller (MPC) for mechanical ventilation of patients suffering from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). This work allowed me to combine my well- established knowledge about control theory with a completely new topic, with which I had zero prior experience. After working as a control system developer for steel rolling at Primetals Technologies Germany for one and a half years, I joined the Control Systems Group at TU Berlin as a researcher in November 2021 to conduct research on controlling wind energy systems via MPC.Finally, in January 2026, I joined the ASN Group at the University of Kassel to conduct research on the control of multimodal energy systems with a focus on MPC.
