Radu-Emil Precup (M IEEE '03 - SM IEEE '07 - F IEEE '25) was born in Lugoj, Romania, in 1963. He received the Dipl.Ing. (Hons.) degree in automation and computers from the "Traian Vuia" Polytechnic Institute of Timisoara, Romania, in 1987, the Diploma in mathematics from the West University of Timisoara, in 1993, and the Ph.D. degree in automatic systems from the "Politehnica" University of Timisoara, in 1996.
From 1987 to 1991, he was with Infoservice S.A., Timisoara. He is currently with the Politehnica University of Timisoara (UPT), Romania, where he became a Professor in the Department of Autom. and Appl. Inf., in 2000. From 2016 to 2022, he was an Adjunct Professor within the School of Engineering, Edith Cowan University, Australia. He is currently the Director of the Autom. Syst. Eng. Res. Centre with UPT. From 1999 to 2009, he held research and teaching positions with the Université de Savoie, Chambéry and Annecy, France, Budapest Tech Polytech. Instit., Hungary, Vienna Univ. Technology, Austria, and Budapest Univ. Tech. and Econ., Hungary. He has been an Associate Editor of IEEE Trans. Fuzzy Syst. (2018-2022), Inf. Sci. (Elsevier, E, 2021-2024), EAAI (E, 2021-2024), ESWA (E, 2021-2024), ASOC (E, 2014-2024), Appl. AI (Taylor & Francis, 2022-2024), Health. Anal. (E, 2021-2024), Com. Transp. Res. (E, 2021-2024), is the Editor-in-Chief of ROMJIST, and is an editorial board member of several prestigious journals: IEEE Trans. Neural Netw. Learn. Syst., IEEE Trans. Cybern., IEEE Open J. of the Comp. Sci., Evolv. Syst. (Springer), J. Eng.-JOE (IET and Wiley), J. Int. Con. Veh. (Tsinghua Univ. Press and IEEE).
He is the author or coauthor of more than 300 papers published in various scientific journals, refereed conference proceedings, and contributions to books. His research interests include mainly development and analysis of new control structures and algorithms (conventional control, fuzzy control, data-based control, nonlinear control, etc.), theory and applications of soft computing, computer-aided design of control systems, modelling, optimization (incl nature-inspired algorithms), and applications to mechatronic systems (incl automotive systems and mobile robots), embedded systems, control of power plants, servo systems, electrical driving systems.
