Pepijn Cox was born on 12th January 1989 in Arnhem, The Netherlands. He has received his B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering with distinction in 2010 and his M.Sc. degree in Systems and Control Engineering with distinction in 2013, both at the Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. His M.Sc. topic was on “Verification of Cascading Events in Interconnected Stochastic Systems: Using Adaptive Parametric Importance Sampling Method”.

In 2013, he started his Ph.D. project at the Control Systems group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), The Netherlands. His Ph.D. topic was "Towards Efficient Identification of Linear Parameter-Varying State-Space Models" under the supervision of prof.dr.ir. P.M.J. Van den Hof and dr.ir. R. Tóth. During the period 2013-2014, he took graduate courses at the Dutch Institute of Systems and Control (DISC) and received the DISC certificate. Currently, he is a postdoctoral researcher in the Control Systems group at TU/e. Pepijn Cox’s main research interests are in linear parameter-varying (LPV) and nonlinear system modelling and identification.
