James Taylor - Research Portal | Lancaster University

Control theory and optimisation, with a particular focus on state variable feedback using linear and nonlinear generalised non–minimal state space models.

Mechatronic systems engineering and the environment, including applied research into mobile construction and nuclear decommissioning robots, micro–climate control in buildings, automation in agriculture, wave energy converters, the global climate system and intelligent transportation systems.

System identification and signal processing. Developer of the Captain Toolbox for Time Series Analysis and Forecasting, which provides MATLAB compatible functions for data–based mechanistic analysis of nonstationary and nonlinear systems.
