Ioan Doré Landau (born July 1, 1938 in Bucharest) is a French scientist specialized in automatic control.

He is an emeritus research director at the CNRS, has published many groundbreaking papers and articles on the theory and applications of system identification, adaptive control, robust digital control, nonlinear systems, and is internationally recognized in these fields.

He is notably the author of numerous algorithms known as "Model Reference Approach" for adaptive control and identification of systems.^[2]

Biography

Landau obtained an engineering degree in electronics from the Polytechnic Institute of Bucharest in 1959, training which he completed in 1965 with a doctorate in electrical engineering at the same Institute and, in 1973, with a doctorate in physical sciences from the Joseph-Fourier University of Grenoble.^[3]^[4]

After having held several jobs in R&D until 1972 (Design Institute for Automation in Bucharest, Institute of Energy of the Romanian Academy (Group of Vasile M. Popov), Alsthom, NASA- Ames Research Center,...), he became an associate professor at the Grenoble Institute of Technology (from 1973 to 1976), then joined the CNRS where he rose, in 1983, to the position of research director.^[3]

From 1987 to 1990, he was also the director of the Grenoble Automation Laboratory (LAG).^[3]

He is one of the founders and the first president (from 1991 to 1993) of the European Union Control Association (EUCA).^[3]

From 1994 to 2002 he was editor-in-chief of the European Journal of Control (EUCA publication).^[3]

Works

From 1968, Landau won the Grand Gold Medal at the Vienna Inventions Exhibition (Austria) for his patent on variable frequency control of asynchronous motors. He has since filed other international patents.^[5]^[3]

As research director at the CNRS, he launched and directed several national research programs on mathematical tools and models for automation, systems analysis and signal processing (1979-1982), adaptive systems in automatic control and signal processing (1984-1988) and automatic control (1988-1996).^[3]

During his career, he directed more than 40 doctoral theses, in France and in collaboration with various universities around the world, and participated in numerous international conferences, several of which he chaired. In particular, in 1991, in Grenoble, he chaired the organizing committee of the first European Conference on Automatic Control (European Control Conference - ECC).^[3]^[6]

In June 1998, the CNRS organized in his honour an international conference entitled "Perspectives in Control - Theory and Applications" .^[6]

Publications

Landau is the author or co-author of more than 400 scientific publications in the field of automatic control.^[7]
