Prof. Dr. Damir Vrančić is a Scientific Advisor at the Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, in the Department of Systems and Control. He received the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, in 1991, 1995 and 1997, respectively. In the last ten years, his research interests have focused on controller tuning (PID controllers, multivariable controllers, cascade loops and Smith predictors), anti-windup and adaptive systems. In the field of parameter tuning of controllers, he has developed novel methods of parameter tuning based on the time and frequency response of the process. In the field of adaptive systems, Dr. Vrančić, together with colleagues, has developed and patented an adaptive system for manipulating the dynamic gain of a valve actuator to adaptively suppress oscillations. He is a member of the Control Design Technical Committee of the International Federation of Automatic Control.
