Heinz Unbehauen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Unbehauen (born October 7, 1935 in Stuttgart ; † May 1, 2019 in Bochum ) was a German engineer who dealt with control engineering .

Career

Unbehauen studied mechanical engineering with a diploma in 1961 and, after additional studies in electrical engineering, received his doctorate from the TH Stuttgart in 1964 ( to optimize process control loops ). In 1969 he completed his habilitation in Stuttgart and was scientific advisor from 1971 and adjunct professor from 1974. Since 1975 he has been a professor at the Ruhr University Bochum and holder of the chair for electrical control and regulation. In 2001 he retired.

The author of a widespread textbook on control engineering , which comprises three volumes and has so far achieved up to 15 editions, was unheeded. One of the most important publications by Unbehauen is a volume from the UNESCO Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), in which a large international team under his leadership has clearly summarized the field of control engineering in 240 individual articles and made it available online worldwide.

He was chairman of the “Adaptive Systems” working group of the VDI / VDE Society for Measurement and Automation Technology (GMA), Düsseldorf and Frankfurt a. M., whose well-known members included the author of the first textbook on "Adaptive Systems", Klaus-Peter Schulze . Unbehauen was also a fellow of the IEEE , honorary professor at Tongji University in Shanghai and a fellow of the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science .

His older brother Rolf Unbehauen was also an engineering scientist.
