Arjan J. van der Schaft (born 1955) is a full professor of systems and control theory at Johann Bernoulli Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Groningen. He is notable for his contributions to network modeling and control of complex systems as Port-Hamiltonian systems, passivity-based control,nonlinear H∞ control and hybrid systems. He is a Fellow of the (IEEE).
Arjan van der Schaft received the undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics from the University of Groningen, Netherlands, in 1979 and 1983, respectively. In 1982 he joined the Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Twente, Enschede, where he was appointed as a full professor in Mathematical Systems and Control Theory in 2000. In September 2005 he returned to Groningen as a full professor in Mathematics.
Van der Schaft has served as Associate Editor for Systems & Control Letters, Journal of Nonlinear Science, SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, and the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. Currently he is Associate Editor for the Journal of Geometric Mechanics, and Editor-at-Large for the European Journal of Control.
