Curriculum Vitae

Philipp Rostalski was born in Niebüll, Germany in 1978. He received his Diploma in Electrical Engineering (Dipl. Ing.) with focus on Measurement and Control from the Hamburg University of Technology, Germany, in 2004.

In 2005 he joined the Automatic Control Laboratory at ETH Zürich, Switzerland as, where he worked at the interface of algebraic geometry, optimization and control. After several international research exchanges, he completed his Ph.D. in 2009. His thesis was awarded with the ETH Medal for outstanding Ph.D. theses.

In 2009 he joined the Department of Mathematics at UC Berkeley and later in the year 2010 also the Department of Mechanical Engineering as a Feodor Lynen Fellow of the German Alexander von Humboldt Foundation working on problems in applied mathematics, most notably: convex algebraic geometry graphical.

Between 2011 and 2015 he was a research engineer and project manager for mechatronics applications at the Dräger Research Unit in Lübeck, Germany. He was responsable for projects in signal processing and control with focus on pneumatic systems and respiratory care. 

Since 2015 he is the director of the Institute for Electrical Engineering in Medicine, Universität zu Lübeck, Germany.

     abstract = {OBJECTIVE
    
    Static or quasi-static pressure-volume (P-V ) curves can be used to determine the lung mechanical properties of patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). According to the traditional interpretation, lung recruitment occurs mainly below the lower point of maximum curvature (LPMC) of the inflation P-V curve. Although some studies have questioned this assumption, setting of positive end-expiratory pressure 2 cmH2O above the LPMC was part of a 'lung-protective' ventilation strategy successfully applied in several clinical trials. The aim of our study was to quantify the amount of unrecruited lung at different clinically relevant points of the P-V curve.
    
    APPROACH
    
    P-V curves and electrical impedance tomography (EIT) data from 30 ARDS patients were analysed. We determined the regional opening pressures for every EIT image pixel and fitted the global P-V curves to five sigmoid model equations to determine the LPMC, inflection point (IP) and upper point of maximal curvature (UPMC). Points of maximal curvature and IP were compared between the models by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The percentages of lung pixels remaining closed ('unrecruited lung') at LPMC, IP and UPMC were calculated from the number of lung pixels exhibiting regional opening pressures higher than LPMC, IP and UPMC and were also compared by one-way ANOVA.
    
    MAIN RESULTS
    
    As results, we found a high variability of LPMC values among the models, a smaller variability of IP and UPMC values. We found a high percentage of unrecruited lung at LPMC, a small percentage of unrecruited lung at IP and no unrecruited lung at UPMC.
    
    SIGNIFICANCE
    
    Our results confirm the notion of ongoing lung recruitment at pressure levels above LPMC for all investigated model equations and highlight the importance of a regional assessment of lung recruitment in patients with ARDS.},

     abstract = {In this paper, we describe new methods to compute the radical (resp. real radical) of an ideal, assuming it complex (resp. real) variety is finite. The aim is to combine approaches for solving a system of polynomial equations with dual methods which involve moment matrices and semi-definite programming. While the border basis algorithms of [17] are efficient and numerically stable for computing complex roots, algorithms based on moment matrices [12] allow the incorporation of additional polynomials, e.g., to re- strict the computation to real roots or to eliminate multiple solutions. The proposed algorithm can be used to compute a border basis of the input ideal and, as opposed to other approaches, it can also compute the quotient structure of the (real) radical ideal directly, i.e., without prior algebraic techniques such as Gr ̈obner bases. It thus combines the strength of existing algorithms and provides a unified treatment for the computation of border bases for the ideal, the radical ideal and the real radical ideal.},

However, its interpretation is complicated by the presence of cardiogenic oscillations (CGO). In this article we present a novel method for the reduction of CGO based on the identification of pressure templates. Similar approaches are known for the removal of electrocardiographic (ECG) artifacts from the electromyogram (EMG). The proposed method is tested on clinical recordings of patients under assisted spontaneous ventilation. Besides the improvement of the respiratory signals, the identified CGO templates can be used diagnostically when viewed in relation to corresponding ECG data. This approach is illustrated on a few sample datasets.},

In this article we propose convolutive blind source separation (BSS) as an effective tool to pre-process surface electromyogram (sEMG) data of the human respiratory muscles. Specifically, the problem of discriminating between inspiratory, expiratory and cardiac muscle activity is addressed, which currently poses a major obstacle for the clinical use of sEMG for adaptive ventilation control. It is shown that using the investigated broadband algorithm, a clear separation of these components can be achieved. The algorithm is based on a generic framework for BSS that utilizes multiple statistical signal characteristics. Apart from a four-channel FIR structure, there are no further restrictive assumptions on the demixing system.},

     abstract = {In this paper the concept of Hybrid Parameter-Varying Model Predictive Control (HPV-MPC) is applied for lateral vehicle stabilization. Parameter-varying in the MPC context means that a prediction model with non-constant, parameter-varying system matrices is employed. In the investigated scenario, the displacement of a car on an icy road under a side wind gust shall be mitigated. In order to explore a possible reduction of online computations and the inherent degradation of control performance, the nonlinear model of the lateral dynamics is approximated in various ways. A comparison between controllers using prediction models varying from the full nonlinear model, as an indication for the maximal achievable performance, to a linear model has been performed. Particular emphasis was put on the hybrid parameter-varying prediction model, to investigate their potential in terms of computational effort and control performance.},

First, the optimal control problem is formulated as a parametric optimization program. Then, certain structural information related to the optimization problem is computed off-line. Afterwards, given this information, numerical algebraic geometry techniques are used to efficiently obtain the optimal control input (i.e. optimal solution) of the original control problem in real time. By using homotopy continuation over the field of complex numbers, this approach has a probability-one guarantee of finding the {\textless}i{\textgreater}global{\textless}/i{\textgreater} optimal solution to the problem at hand.},
