Multi-scale optimal control for Einstein Telescope active seismic isolation
Pooya Saffarieh, Nathan A. Holland, Michele Valentini +6
We present a multi-scale optimal control framework for active seismic isolation in the Einstein Telescope, a third-generation gravitational-wave observatory. Our approach jointly o…
Non-Smooth Multi-objective Controller Synthesis for Test-Mass Actuation in Gravitational-Wave Detectors
Sander K. Sijtsma, Pooya Saffarieh, Nathan A. Holland +3
This paper proposes a non-smooth controller optimization method and shows the results of ongoing research on the implementation of this method for gravitational wave applications.…
