Identification and Control of a Nonlinear Plant Using Neural Systems
Qualifications of the Instructor(s)
Cosme Rafael Marcano-Gamero received his System Engineer degree from the Universidad de los Andes, Mérida, Venezuela in 1986, and his Master's degree from Universidad Nacional Experimental Politécnica "Antonio José de Sucre" (UNEXPO), Bolívar state, Venezuela. Since 1995, Marcano-Gamero has been a full-time Professor at UNEXPO, where he researches Variable Structure Systems, Fuzzy Logic, and Neural Networks.
Outside his academic pursuits, the instructor has worked for primary aluminum electrolytic reduction plants such as Venalum and Alcasa (both located in Venezuela). He has also worked with Reynolds Metals Lights Co., USA, where he explored Alumina feeding on demand control strategies and developed a software task to automatically quench anode effects in pot cells P19s. He explored adaptive control strategies with ASV/Hydroaluminum, Norway, and his work was realized in the company's Oslo facilities with excellent results.
In May 2006, Marcano-Gamero presented a work in the 17th International Conference on Modeling and Simulation (MS 2006) sponsored by IASTED, which took place in Montreal, Canada. The presented work discussed the "Variable Structure Systems Theory" of Prof. Vadim Utkin, with important supplements from researchers such as Krassowky, Sira-Ramírez, et alia.
Presently, the instructor is a candidate for his Doctor of Philosophy degree in Mechatronics at the University of Málaga, Spain.
