Short Bio
Simon K. Niederländer is a Professor of Automatic Control and Engineering Mathematics at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt. He received an M.Sc. degree in Engineering Cybernetics in 2015, and a Ph.D. degree in Systems Theory and Automatic Control in 2022, both from the University of Stuttgart. He held visiting research positions at the University of California, San Diego, and at the National University of Singapore. He also held industrial positions as a Systems and Control Engineer at MTU Aero Engines AG from 2021 to 2023, and as a Research Scientist at Siemens AG from 2023 to 2025.
Dr. Niederländer is a recipient of fellowships from the German Academic Scholarship Foundation, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and the Dr. Jürgen und Irmgard Ulderup Foundation. He is a member of SIAM, IEEE, and the IEEE Control Systems Society.
Dr. Niederländer’s research interests lie in convex analysis, monotone operator theory, and dynamical systems, with applications to convex optimization. His work develops analytical and algorithmic perspectives on evolution equations, focusing on convergence properties and regularization techniques in constrained and higher-order settings.
