MARC Researcher Mojtaba Kaheni Presents at Reglermöte 2025 and Explores New Collaboration with Alfa Laval

6/19/2025

June 2025 — Mojtaba Kaheni, researcher at the Mälardalen Automation and Robotics Center (MARC), recently participated in Reglermöte 2025, Sweden’s flagship conference in control engineering, hosted by Lund University. The conference brought together leading researchers, engineers, and industry partners to discuss state-of-the-art developments in control systems and cyber-physical technologies.

As part of the academic program, Mojtaba presented two peer-reviewed papers:

• "A Modified Adaptive Data-Enabled Policy Optimization Control to Resolve State Perturbations"
  This work proposes a novel method for improving robustness in dynamic systems through adaptive, data-driven control design.
• "Stability-Guaranteed Defense Mechanism for Detecting Integrity Attacks on Cyber-Physical Systems"
  Addressing the growing concern of security in automation, this paper introduces a reliable framework for identifying and mitigating data integrity attacks in real-time.

These contributions reflect MARC’s growing role in advancing secure, adaptive, and resilient control methodologies, particularly in alignment with Research Area 2 (RA2), which focuses on autonomy and robust system performance.

Strengthening Industry Collaboration: Visit to Alfa Laval

Following the conference, Mojtaba visited Alfa Laval. Maike Kloncker organised this visit. It was truly exciting to see the innovative and fantastic work being done at Alfa Laval. They had engaging conversations about how cutting-edge academic research, particularly under RA2 of MARC, can further support and enhance their ongoing efforts in automation and control systems.

The dialogue explored synergies between MARC’s academic research and Alfa Laval’s technology roadmap, with a focus on how theoretical advances can support practical, scalable solutions in the manufacturing and energy sectors.

“It was truly inspiring to see the high level of innovation at Alfa Laval. There is great potential for mutual growth by integrating MARC’s research in robust control, automation, and cyber-physical resilience into their real-world applications,” said Mojtaba Kaheni.
