Dear Sir/Madam,


I am looking for a post-doctoral position involving Process Control, or more 
generally in the Electrical Engineering research areas. I would like to improve 
and diversify my research experience and production, since I would enjoy 
working in industrial research, combining engineering skills and financial 
capabilities. I shall be available from the end of July. If a suitable post-doc
position is vacant, I would be pleased to hear from you.

My main research experience:

Fields of interest: Modelisation and Identification of multivariable dynamic 
systems.
                                                                                        
During my first year, I worked in collaboration with local industry
(Mines de Potasse d'Alsace). At that time my work dealt with the
identification of an industrial sludge treatment and continuous 
settling process.
                                                                                        
Over the last two and half years I have studied the modelling and 
identification of dynamical systems based on orthogonal series 
representation and in particular in the case of the Laguerre series.

I sincerely thank you for your time and your consideration.

Sincerely Yours,


Doctor Simon BEBE EKONGOLO
Engineer from ENSPS (Ecole Nationale Sup�rieure de Physique de Strasbourg)
