As part of the scientific activities of the College of Electronics Engineering at the University of Ninevah, and its commitment to supporting high-quality scientific research and contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (particularly Goals 4, 7, and 9), two faculty members from the Department of Systems and Control Engineering have published a new research paper in the field of control engineering. The researchers are:
• Asst. Prof. Omar Yaseen Ismail
• Lecturer Yazan Hudhaifa Shaker
with the participation of researchers from the University of Technology and the General Company for Electricity Distribution–Baghdad. The paper is entitled:
“Robust Control of a Magnetic Levitation System via LESO-Based Feedback Linearization Tuned by Modified Flood Algorithm”
The research was published in the International Journal of Dynamics and Control, issued by Springer Nature. It is a reputable scientific journal ranked in Q1, and indexed in global databases such as Scopus and Web of Science (Clarivate).
The study presents the development of a robust control framework for nonlinear and unstable magnetic levitation systems by integrating feedback linearization with a Linear Extended State Observer (LESO) tuned using an enhanced optimization algorithm. This approach achieves high precision and stability in performance without requiring an exact mathematical model of the system, and offers exceptional capability in handling disturbances and uncertainties.
This scientific achievement reflects the College’s commitment to supporting innovation and applied research in advanced engineering fields, contributing to the advancement of scientific research and supporting sustainable development goals.
This accomplishment comes in line with the directives and support of the President of the University of Ninevah, Prof. Dr. Osama Al-Mashhadani, emphasizing the importance of publishing high-quality scientific research in international databases, and under the direct supervision of the Dean of the College of Electronics Engineering, Prof. Dr. Khalid Khalil Mohammed, who continuously affirms the College’s commitment to supporting researchers and encouraging them to enhance the scientific output of the college and the university.
