"start_time": "11:00:00", "end_time": "12:00:00", "description": "<strong>Abstract</strong><br>\r\nSince the early days of aircraft autopilots, flight control law design has been dominated by gain scheduling: a family of linear controllers designed at trim points across the flight envelope and interpolated as the aerospace vehicle's operating condition changes. 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": 72692, "title": "Electronic Prototyping 2", "slug": "electronic-prototyping-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/electronic-prototyping-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33917/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33917/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33917/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-07", "end_date": "2026-10-07", "start_time": "18:15:00", "end_time": "20:00:00", "description": "<p>Introduction to microcontroller programming, communications, analog circuits, and more!</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-28T13:24:46", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-28T13:57:42", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CM 1 5", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CM%201%205", "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" ], "speaker": "Olive Petroff <br>\r\nRobin Arthur Guillaume-Gentil", "organizer": "RoboPoly", "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/121959/", "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/123/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72734, "title": "From Dimers to Maximal Surfaces in Minkowski Space R^{2,1}", "slug": "from-dimers-to-maximal-surfaces-in-minkowski-space", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/from-dimers-to-maximal-surfaces-in-minkowski-space", "visual_url": null, "visual_large_url": null, "visual_maxsize_url": null, "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-07", "end_date": "2026-10-07", "start_time": "15:00:00", "end_time": null, "description": "<p>We discuss a class of graph embeddings into Minkowski space R^{2,2} = C^{1,1}, called t-surfaces, which arise in the study of the planar dimer model.

We use it as a scientific tool to study how models acquire specialized skills and how far those skills transfer. We speedrun SWE-bench by training coding agents from scratch on demonstrations from stronger models. With about $1,000 of training compute, we reach a 25% solve rate, outperforming GPT-4o. Compared to models with extensive pre-training, our speedrun models solve largely the same SWE-bench problems, and generalize about as well to new bugs and codebases. What, then, does pre-training buy for SWE-bench? Our experiments suggest a one-student hypothesis: pre-training helps a student imitate its teacher, but at matched imitation loss, pre-training choices barely matter. We stress-test this hypothesis by comparing a model trained on the web against a “vintage\" one trained only pre-1931 documents. Up to the SWE-bench scores we reach, pre-training is interchangeable with specialization data.

Neither purely top-down nor bottom-up, horizontality invites reflection on spatial organization, territorial governance, and the conflicts shaping contemporary urbanization.<br>\r\nRather than repeating critiques of vertical power and growth-oriented urbanization, the seminar aims to pluralize perspectives on horizontality as an open concept — one capable of generating new rationalities and spatial imaginaries for future design and socio-political agendas.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-03-24T15:19:40", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-09T10:12:37", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CO 0 11", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64557144123?pwd=fIqeb7t5TTUgEPzDPJiwuT5BmNnf9R.1", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Prof.Michiel Dehane, Prof.Catherine Maumi, Prof.Tom Avermaete Tommaso Pietropolli, Mose Cometta.

What are its characteristic practices?</li>\r\n\t<li>Characteristics of theories and concepts in the humanities and social sciences that facilitate their ideologically motivated repurposing. What might a reception-sensitive approach to theory-building look like without restricting the freedom of research and teaching?</li>\r\n\t<li>Pathways of transfer and networks of actors through which ideas from the humanities and social sciences move from academic contexts into political, ideological or digital public spheres.</li>\r\n\t<li>Conditions under which such reinterpretations have a particular impact – for example, in the interplay of academic debates, media dynamics and political interests.</li>\r\n\t<li>Consequences arising from this for science communication in the humanities and social sciences. How can complex or critical concepts be communicated without them being easily oversimplified, misunderstood or ideologically exploited in public debates?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<br>\r\nFunding is available for (interdisciplinary) project teams from the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences, consisting of two to three researchers (one PI and up to two Co-PIs).<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Funding</strong>: up to EUR 650K<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Duration</strong>: max. 2 years<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Eligibility:</strong> The call for proposals is aimed at researchers with a PhD who are employed at German universities and research institutions.
