Curriculum Vitae

Christian Herzog is a transdisciplinary researcher combining technology and applied ethics. He received his B.Sc and M.Sc. degrees in Mechatronics in 2008 and 2011 from Hamburg University of Technology, where he also did his Ph.D. in control. Since 2015 he is a member of the Institute for Electrical Engineering in Medicine at the University of Lübeck, where he has committed to making ethical considerations integral to technology development.  In 2020 he has received an M.A. in Applied and Professional Ethics from the University of Leeds and became a young academy fellow at the Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Hamburg.

                  This Comment explores the implications of a lack of tools that facilitate an explicable utilization of epistemologically richer, but also more involved white-box approaches in AI. In contrast, advances in explainable artificial intelligence for black-box approaches have led to the availability of semi-standardized and attractive toolchains that offer a seemingly competitive edge over inherently interpretable white-box models in terms of intelligibility towards users. Consequently, there is a need for research on efficient tools for rendering interpretable white-box approaches in AI explicable to facilitate responsible use.},

       abstract = {A major difficulty encountered in the application of linear parameter-varying (LPV) control is the complexity of synthesis and implementation when the number of scheduling parameters is large. Often heuristic ad hoc solutions involve the neglection of individual scheduling parameters, such that standard LPV controller synthesis methods become applicable. The principle component analysis (PCA) based technique of parameter set mapping (PSM) has been proposed as a systematic way for obtaining LPV models with fewer scheduling parameters. However, controller designs based on an approximate model cannot guarantee stability and performance when implemented on the original plant. In this paper, a posteriori conditions are proposed to assess closed-loop stability and performance. Moreover, a possible synthesis approach is sketched based on iterating between convex optimization problems. A two-degree-of- freedom (2-DOF) robotic manipulator is considered as an illustrative example.},

      The controller design for complex nonlinear systems using the framework of linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems often leads to high costs in modeling, synthesis and implementation. Interconnected LPV subsystems also yield complex systems. This thesis presents methods for the modeling of complex LPV systems, in the sense of nonlinear as well as interconnected subsystems and introduces improved controller synthesis tools that lead to reduced synthesis and implementation costs.},
