The approach is reliable and well understood, but it is also labor-intensive, requiring extensive linearization, controller interpolation, and lengthy re-tuning whenever the airframe or mission profile changes while its classical stability and performance guarantees hold only under restrictive assumptions.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n(Incremental) Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion — (I)NDI — emerged as an attractive alternative, first as full-state NDI in the 1980s–90s and later, in its incremental form, replacing much (though not all) of the reliance on an accurate onboard model with direct sensor feedback of angular acceleration. The result is a simple, largely envelope-independent control structure that (almost) eliminates the scheduling and interpolation burden. The price, however, is the loss of the a priori robustness guarantees that gain-scheduled designs, however cumbersome, were built to provide. Robust control theory, born in the same timeframe as NDI, offers exactly those guarantees, but has traditionally lived in a separate, frequency-domain world from INDI's incremental, time-domain philosophy.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis talk shows how the two could be brought closer or even work together. We present hybrid INDI architectures combining a sensor-based and a model-based inversion core and paired with an outer loop tuned via structured synthesis therefore combining the advantages of both worlds. We then generalize this bridge through a formal duality between (I)NDI and quasi-LPV control, unifying robust analysis and synthesis across both worlds and clarifying exactly where INDI's modularity is paid for in achievable robustness. These results are validated across various aerospace applications such as aircraft, space launchers and drones.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nDr. Spilios Theodoulis is an associate professor in the Aerospace GNC cluster within the Control & Simulation (C&S) section, at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering (AE) of the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). Before joining TU Delft, he spent fourteen years at the French-German Research Institute of Saint-Louis (ISL), where he was Deputy Head of the GNC department. He is the founder of the Aerospace dynamics and RObust Control (AEROCON) research group along with its advanced projects branch—the ∞-Lab, and also an adjunct professor at the University of Strasbourg, University of Paris-Saclay and Cranfield University teaching tensor-based flight dynamics and automatic (flight) control. He has been involved in the research and development of both civilian and defense projects with EU government agencies, industry and academia in the field of GNC for more than 20 years.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHis research interests focus on two complementary fields. First, <em>modeling and flight dynamics</em> of complex aerospace systems, including uncertainty modeling and linear/nonlinear-parameter-varying dynamics. Second, (multivariable) <em>stability and</em> <em>control</em> systems spanning from robust/nonlinear control and analysis to control theory-inspired guidance algorithms. The algorithms developed are showcased in several classes of systems (including the facilities of the AE C&S section such as SIMONA, PH-LAB, etc.) such as civil and fighter aircraft, rotorcraft, drones, hypersonic vehicles, space launchers, as well as guided systems. He maintains active collaborations with leading research institutes, including ONERA, DLR, NLR, TNO, NASA, and ESA-ESTEC; academic partners such as ISAE-SUPAERO, Cranfield University, and NYU Abu Dhabi; and industrial partners including Dassault Aviation, Airbus Defence & Space, MBDA, Indra Deimos, PLD Space, Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, and others.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHe is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (Class of 2023), co-recipient of both <em>1-Star</em> and <em>2-Star Innovation Awards</em> (2019) from MBDA, and his students have received (some) distinctions, including the best PhD award in the area of systems and control from the University of Strasbourg (2017). He also serves on various technical committees (AIAA GNC, IFAC Aerospace, CEAS GNC) as well as on the organizing and program conference committees related to the field of GNC (AIAA SciTech, IFAC WC/ACA, EuroGNC, etc.).<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHis most daunting challenge to date though, remains the robust stabilization of his two young daughters Iris and Hera, who are constantly reminding him that nature is neither linear nor time-invariant.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-22T11:05:26", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-22T16:45:19", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "ME C2 405", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ME%20C2%20405", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://www.tudelft.nl/en/staff/s.theodoulis/\">Dr. Spilios Theodoulis, associate professor in the Aerospace GNC cluster within the Control & Simulation (C&S) section, at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering (AE) of the Delft University of Technology (TUDelft), Netherlands</a>", "organizer": "Professor <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/alireza.karimi\">Alireza Karimi</a>", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121878/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/15/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72462, "title": "EPFL BioEngineering Talks", "slug": "epfl-bioengineering-talks-4", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/epfl-bioengineering-talks-4", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33710/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33710/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33710/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-19", "end_date": "2026-10-19", "start_time": "12:15:00", "end_time": "13:15:00", "description": "<p>Weekly BioEngineering Talks (Lunch Provided)<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>INVITED SPEAKERS:</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Organic electrochemical transistors for enhanced potentiometric sensing of neurochemicals</strong><br>\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/emily.schafer?lang=en\">Dr. Emily Schafer,</a> </strong>EPFL Laboratory of Chemical Nanotechnology<br>\r\nHost: <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/nako.nakatsuka\">Prof. Nako Nakatsuka</a><br>\r\n<br>\r\nFollowed by<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Data-driven protein engineering for sensing and biosynthesis of new-to-nature thioesters</strong><br>\r\n<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/sebastian.barthel?lang=en\"><strong>Dr. Sebastian Barthel</strong>,</a> EPFL Laboratory of Synthetic and Applied Microbiology <br>\r\nHost: <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/markus.jeschek\">Prof. Markus Jeschek</a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>BioEngineering Talks mandatory EDBB Seminar Attendance (1st-Year PhD Students)</strong>\r\n</p><ul>\r\n\t<li> Attendance sheet to print <a class=\"text-link\" href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kusGxCFPAvWaRD8eUGEBkSVzD1ppMf1g/edit\" target=\"_blank\">HERE </a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>The BioEngineering Student Seminar Series</strong> is an official course for which students can register and earn credits.<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Register <a class=\"text-link\" href=\"https://edu.epfl.ch/studyplan/fr/ecole_doctorale/biotechnologie-et-genie-biologique/coursebook/bioengineering-student-seminar-series-BIOENG-613\" target=\"_blank\">HERE</a></li>\r\n\t<li>Attendance sheet to print <a class=\"text-link\" href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZGrPnt8LlLuWOApzx32s6L5UPPH8Hyoo/edit\" target=\"_blank\">HERE</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>General information:</strong><br>\r\nIn-person attendance is preferred to support your fellow students.

In the study of the cell nucleus, SMLM has offered unique insights into its organization and function at the nanoscale. Nuclear architecture is structured across multiple spatial scales in three dimensions and is highly dynamic. Understanding the mechanisms that govern nuclear organization therefore requires imaging approaches capable of capturing molecular dynamics across a broad range of spatial and temporal scales and in diverse biological contexts. Although SMLM can routinely achieve spatial resolutions in the tens-of-nanometers range, many biologically relevant structures and processes remain beyond its reach. For example, resolving the precise organization of DNA at the molecular scale remains challenging, as it would require a substantial improvement in spatial resolution over conventional SMLM, while also addressing the high density and degree of molecular compaction within the nucleus. <br>\r\nOver the years, we have developed complementary strategies to address these challenges by introducing additional dimensions and observables into SMLM measurements. In this presentation, I will first discuss our approaches to three-dimensional single-molecule imaging, including multifocus microscopy and volumetric light-sheet excitation, which enable fast and sensitive imaging over extended volumes and in complex biological samples such as cell colonies. While these approaches provide access to the three-dimensional and temporal dimensions required to investigate nuclear organization, spatial resolution alone is not always sufficient to distinguish molecular arrangements. We have therefore extended SMLM further by implementing polarization-resolved multifocus microscopy (PolMFM), which combines three-dimensional localization with information on molecular orientation.<br>\r\nI will illustrate how these multidimensional approaches can provide new insights into nuclear organization, with examples spanning different biological systems. In particular, I will present evidence for a long-range, crystal-like organization of DNA within the nuclei of mature sperm cells from crickets, demonstrating how multidimensional imaging can reveal structural features that remain inaccessible to conventional localization microscopy.<br>\r\nFinally, I will discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with visualizing, analyzing, and interactively exploring the multidimensional datasets generated by these approaches. Together, these developments illustrate how extending SMLM beyond conventional two-dimensional localization can provide new ways to interrogate the organization and dynamics of biological systems at the nanoscale.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u><strong>Bio:</strong></u><br>\r\nBassam Hajj is a physicist and CNRS researcher at Institut Curie in Paris, where he is a member of the Physics of Cells and Cancer unit and co-leads the “Light-based Observation and Control of Cellular Organization” team. His research focuses on the development of advanced optical microscopy techniques, particularly single-molecule localization microscopy, 3D imaging, and multidimensional approaches for studying cellular organization at the nanoscale.<br>\r\nAfter completing his PhD at École Normale Supérieure de Cachan on electro-optical microscopy, Bassam joined Janelia Research Campus as a postdoctoral researcher, where he worked on multifocus microscopy for fast and sensitive single-molecule imaging. He subsequently returned to Institut Curie and joined the CNRS as a permanent researcher in 2016.<br>\r\nHis current research combines innovative microscopy, quantitative image analysis, and data visualization to investigate molecular organization and dynamics, with a particular focus on nuclear organization.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>STUDENT SPEAKER:</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Transcription Factor Dose in Stem Cell Reprogramming: Insights from Single-Cell Multi-Omics</strong><br>\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/angelika.gebhart?lang=en\">Angelika Gebhart</a>, </strong><a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/labs/deplanckelab/\">Deplancke Lab</a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>BioEngineering Talks mandatory EDBB Seminar Attendance (1st-Year PhD Students)</strong>\r\n</p><ul>\r\n\t<li> Attendance sheet to print <a class=\"text-link\" href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kusGxCFPAvWaRD8eUGEBkSVzD1ppMf1g/edit\" target=\"_blank\">HERE </a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>The BioEngineering Student Seminar Series</strong> is an official course for which students can register and earn credits.<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Register <a class=\"text-link\" href=\"https://edu.epfl.ch/studyplan/fr/ecole_doctorale/biotechnologie-et-genie-biologique/coursebook/bioengineering-student-seminar-series-BIOENG-613\" target=\"_blank\">HERE</a></li>\r\n\t<li>Attendance sheet to print <a class=\"text-link\" href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZGrPnt8LlLuWOApzx32s6L5UPPH8Hyoo/edit\" target=\"_blank\">HERE</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>General information:</strong><br>\r\nIn-person attendance is preferred to support your fellow students.

His documentaries address contemporary issues such as the crisis of democracy, the economic crisis, and the rise of populism, using dramatic techniques similar to those found in fiction. Among them, *Connu de nos services* (1997) addresses the scandal surrounding the political dossiers compiled by the Federal Police in the 1970s and 1980s. *Mais im Bundeshuus / Le Génie helvétique* (2003), one of Swiss cinema’s major box-office hits, follows the work of a parliamentary commission tasked with drafting a law on genetic engineering. *The Blocher Experiment* (2013) sparked intense controversy. *Cleveland vs. Wall Street* (2010), about the subprime mortgage crisis, was presented at the Cannes Film Festival (Directors’ Fortnight) and nominated for a César Award in France. His film *The Paris Opera* (2017) was subsequently widely distributed around the world. With this film, which drew more than 200,000 viewers to theaters, Jean-Stéphane Bron won the Swiss Film Award in the Best Documentary category for the third time in 2018. In 2021, Jean-Stéphane Bron released *Cinq nouvelles du cerveau*, a feature-length film that explores various mind-boggling questions related to advances in the fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Between December 2021 and May 2022, he filmed the series *Ma rue de l’Ale* for RTS on his own street in Lausanne; the series was a huge hit with audiences.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nExploring reality through the eyes of those who shape it. Jean-Stéphane Bron’s unique art lies not merely in presenting the facts, but in understanding both the people involved and the systems within which they operate—systems that shape their actions.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Partner: <a href=\"http://www.visionsdureel.ch/\">Visions du réel</a></strong><br>\r\n \r\n<figure class=\"image\"><a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/\"><img alt=\"Programme complet des Culturelles\" height=\"182\" src=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/LES_CULTURELLES_1920x1080_programme_complet.png\" width=\"600\"></a>\r\n\r\n<figcaption>© 2026 EPFL, Laura Persat</figcaption>\r\n</figure>\r\n</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-03T18:19:57", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-22T13:55:33", "link_label": "Programme complet des Culturelles", "link_url": "https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Forum Rolex", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==RLC%20E1%20240", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/3/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-St%C3%A9phane_Bron\">Jean-Stéphane Bron</a>, réalisateur ", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/\">Festival Les Culturelles</a> (Pôle Culture VPI)", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/veronique.mauron\">Véronique Mauron Layaz</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "cinéma, documentaire, jean-stéphane bron", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121711/", "category": { "id": 9, "code": "MANIF", "fr_label": "Événements festifs et culturels", "en_label": "Cultural events", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/2/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/21/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72373, "title": "Lysosomes at the nexus of cellular quality control and metabolism", "slug": "lysosomes-at-the-nexus-of-cellular-quality-control", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/lysosomes-at-the-nexus-of-cellular-quality-control", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33629/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33629/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33629/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-15", "end_date": "2026-10-15", "start_time": "16:00:00", "end_time": "17:00:00", "description": "<p>Lysosomes sit at the crossroads of cellular catabolism and quality control, where they must dismantle chemically diverse cargo while preserving their own integrity. I will discuss two discoveries that reveal how lysosomes solve these complementary challenges and how their failure creates disease vulnerabilities. First, I will describe Lysosomal Leucine Aminopeptidase (LyLAP), an enzyme specialized to processively degrade the hydrophobic α-helices of transmembrane proteins. LyLAP is highly expressed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, where its loss causes hydrophobic peptides to accumulate, compromises lysosomal function, and ultimately leads to cancer cell death, revealing a potential vulnerability in tumors with elevated endocytic activity. I will then describe LASER, a damage-responsive protein assembly that couples lysosomal membrane injury to repair. At its core, the oligomeric protein TFG recognizes LC3/GABARAP proteins conjugated to damaged lysosomes and recruits the ESCRT machinery to restore membrane integrity. Neurodegenerative disease-associated mutations in TFG disrupt this process, linking defective lysosomal repair to human disease. Together, these findings reveal lysosomes as dynamic systems that coordinate cargo degradation with membrane surveillance and repair to maintain cellular homeostasis. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nMore about Dr. Aakriti Jain's lab at UTSW: <a href=\"https://aakritijainlab.com/\">https://aakritijainlab.com/</a></p>", "image_description": "Dr. Aakriti Jain", "creation_date": "2026-08-19T11:24:24", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-21T16:54:33", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/7467019292", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Dr. Aakriti Jain, UTSW", "organizer": "Dr. Juan Manuel García-Arcos", "contact": "Dr. Juan Manuel García-Arcos, [email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "ESCRT, Lysosomal repair, organelle dynamics, Lysosomal Leucine Aminopeptidase, transmembrane protein degradation", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121477/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/111/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72626, "title": "TBA", "slug": "tba-141", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/tba-141", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33870/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33870/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33870/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-11-20", "end_date": "2026-11-20", "start_time": "15:15:00", "end_time": "16:45:00", "description": "<p>tba</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-20T13:23:48", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-20T13:27:02", "link_label": "", "link_url": "https://www.epfl.ch/schools/sb/research/math/statistics-seminars/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CM 1 517", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CM%201%20517", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Johannes Schmidt-Hieber, WIAS Berlin", "organizer": "Myrto Limnios", "contact": "Maroussia Schaffner", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121867/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/288/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72585, "title": "SNSF: Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) - call for European projects", "slug": "snsf-driving-urban-transitions-dut-call-for-euro-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/snsf-driving-urban-transitions-dut-call-for-euro-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33854/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33854/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33854/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-11-17", "end_date": "2026-11-17", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<div>The <strong>Driving Urban Transitions (DUT)</strong> Partnership, co-funded by the European Commission (EC) under the Horizon Europe framework programme has launched its fifth transnational call for projects<strong>. </strong>The<strong> SNSF </strong>is joining this transnational initiative to support the transition towards more sustainable cities across Europe and beyond.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe call supports transnational research and/or innovation projects addressing urban challenges as a way of helping cities to transition towards a more sustainable economy and mode of functioning.</div>\r\n \r\n\r\n<div>The call accelerates urban transitions through three thematic areas, known as Transition Pathways (TPs):\r\n<div>\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li><strong>Circular Urban Economies (CUE)</strong></li>\r\n\t<li><strong>15-Minute City (15mC)</strong></li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Positive Energy Districts (PED)</strong></li>\r\n</ol>\r\n\r\n<div>For each TP, three topics are defined as focus areas for this call.
