Sajad Naderi recived his MSc degree in electrical engineering, control systems, from the University of Tehran, Iran, in June 2015. Since October 2016, he has been a PhD candidate with the dynamics and control group at the Eindhoven Univesity of Technology, The Neththerlands. His PhD research is focused on model order reduction for infinite-dimensional systems, with application to managed pressure drilling automation. He spent 1.5 years of his PhD time at the Norwegian company Kelda drilling controls in Porsgrunn, Norway. His research interests include nonlinear and optimal control systems, managed pressure drilling aoutmation, model order reduction and numerical aspects of hyperbolic PDE models.
