About the Lab

Professor Hyoung-Joon Park's research lab specializes in advanced control systems and optimization methodologies for complex dynamic systems, with a strong focus on model predictive control (MPC) and its real-time applications. The lab's main research directions include MPC-based power management in shipboard integrated power systems, spacecraft rendezvous and docking with debris avoidance, and computational optimization techniques such as the IPA-SQP framework for nonlinear MPC. The lab also explores practical challenges in transportation modeling, particularly in destination choice modeling for freight trucks using efficient sampling strategies. These interdisciplinary efforts bridge control theory, aerospace engineering, maritime systems, and transportation science.

Real-Time Model Predictive Control for Shipboard Power Management Using the IPA-SQP Approach
Hyeongjun Park, Jing Sun, Steven D. Pekarek, Philip Stone, Daniel F. Opila, Richard Meyer, Ilya Kolmanovsky, Raymond A. DeCarlo
SJR Q1IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology

Shipboard integrated power systems, the key enablers of ship electrification, call for effective power management control (PMC) to achieve optimal and reliable operation in dynamic environments under hardware limitations and operational constraints. The design of PMC can be treated naturally in a model predictive control (MPC) framework, where a cost function is minimized over a prediction horizon subject to constraints. The real-time implementation of MPC-based PMC, however, is challenging due

Model predictive control for spacecraft rendezvous and docking with a rotating/tumbling platform and for debris avoidance
Hyeongjun Park, Stefano Di Cairano, Ilya Kolmanovsky

A Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach is developed for spacecraft rendezvous and docking to a rotating/ tumbling platform and for debris avoidance maneuvers. With this approach, the constraints on thrust, approach velocity and spacecraft positioning within the Line-of-Sight cone from the docking port are systematically treated. The trajectories are simulated and time-to-dock and fuel consumption are evaluated as cost function parameters are varied. Debris avoidance maneuvers are considered,

A tutorial overview of IPA-SQP approach for optimization of constrained nonlinear systems
Hyeongjun Park, Jing Sun, Ilya Kolmanovsky

This paper reviews the integrated perturbation analysis - sequential quadratic programming (IPA-SQP) approach. The IPA-SQP approach has been proposed to address computational challenges in nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) problems. This approach combines the complementary features of perturbation analysis and sequential quadratic programming in a unified framework. An overview of the IPA-SQP approach is provided, its methodological extension to adaptive MPC is discussed, and computationa

SJR Q3Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering

One of the major issues when applying truck destination choice models with a large number of alternatives is how to sample a set of non-chosen traffic analysis zones (TAZs) to construct a destination choice set. Despite the large number of studies applying various sampling strategies, the question remains as to what are optimal strategies in model development. This study examined how the sampling strategies affect the performances of truck destination choice models. Two sampling methods (simple

Trends and Cut-Point Changes in Obesity Parameters by Age Groups Considering Metabolic Syndrome
박형준, 홍영호, 조윤정, 이지은, 윤재문, 권혁태, 김상혁

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are an important issue worldwide. Obesity has a close relationship with NCDs. Various age-related changes should be considered when evaluating obesity. Methods: National representative cohort data from the National Health Insurance Service National Sample Cohort from 2012 to 2013 were used. Sex-specific and age group-specific (10-year intervals) means for body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to- height ratio (WtHR) were calculate

Model Predictive Control of Spacecraft Relative Motion Maneuvers Using the IPA-SQP Approach
Hyeongjun Park, Ilya Kolmanovsky, Jing Sun

In this paper, a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) based on the Integrated Perturbation Analysis and Sequential Quadratic Programming (IPA-SQP) is designed and analyzed for spacecraft relative motion maneuvering. To evaluate the effectiveness of the IPA-SQP MPC, the results are compared with the linear quadratic MPC algorithm developed in [4, 13–15]. It is shown that the IPA-SQP algorithm can handle directly nonlinear constraints on thrust magnitude without resorting to saturation or polyhedral
