A borrower raises funds for an initial investment and may need financing after observing a private liquidity shock. Under non exclusive lending, new lenders price only their claims, so additional borrowing dilutes existing debt and leads to excessive leverage. The optimal simple debt contract is an endogenous debt limit. It captures the intertemporal commitment–flexibility tradeoff: more borrowing today fi nances investment but increases dilution incentives, requiring tighter limits on future borrowing. Richer clauses, including performance-sensitive debt and contingent prepayment provisions, re store the exclusive-lending benchmark by compensating existing lenders when new financing is raised.</p>","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-06-03T15:01:15","last_modification_date":"2026-09-30T13:50:47","link_label":"Paper","link_url":"https://yunzhihu.web.unc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/14825/2026/08/draft-v4.pdf","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"UNIL, Extranef, room 126","url_place_and_room":"","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"<a href=\"https://yunzhihu.web.unc.edu/\">Yunzhi Hu - The University of North Carolina</a>","organizer":"","contact":"sophie.cadenakauz@epfl.ch","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/120962/","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/112/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/3/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/116/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/105/?format=json"]},{"id":72636,"title":"H∞boys and INDIans: Can they work together for flight control?","slug":"hboys-and-indians-can-they-work-together-for-fligh","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/hboys-and-indians-can-they-work-together-for-fligh","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33880/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33880/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33880/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-10-07","end_date":"2026-10-07","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 &amp; Simulation (C&amp;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&amp;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 &amp; 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=json"],"speaker":"<a href=\"https://www.tudelft.nl/en/staff/s.theodoulis/\">Dr. Spilios Theodoulis, associate professor in the Aerospace GNC cluster within the Control &amp; Simulation (C&amp;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":"barbara.schenkel@epfl.ch","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 -

Cette collection préserve des micro-organismes provenant de régions menacées telles que les Alpes et l'Arctique et compte déjà plus de 2000 spécimens.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nL’artiste a sélectionné des levures, bactéries et champignons souvent vieux de 12’000 ans, qu’elle a cultivés dans son propre studio et photographiés tous les deux jours. Les différents micro-organismes sont déposés sur un fond d’agar pour qu’ils puissent se développer. Leur évolution est rapide et hasardeuse. La documentation est méthodique : plus de 13'300 photographies ont été prises représentant des instantanés de matière vivante.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDeux séries de photographies ont été produites : l’une se concentre sur des monocultures, dans lesquelles une souche microbienne sélectionnée occupe une boîte de Pétri et se propage largement. En adaptant les méthodes d'inoculation et les milieux de culture, différentes impulsions sont déclenchées. La deuxième série fait cohabiter plusieurs organismes différents. La lutte pour les nutriments dans le milieu de culture ainsi que les symbioses qui peuvent se développer entre les microbes sont documentées. La pratique d’atelier se mêle à la pratique de laboratoire.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>L’exposition</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nL’exposition<em> Unearthed</em> présente 18 photographies de plusieurs micro-organismes différents évoluant dans les boîtes circulaires qui les abritent. Filaments, textures, entrelacs, pointillés, cercles produisent des configurations abstraites spectaculaires. Les couleurs enchantent et vivifient les formes en turbulente circulation et en constante métamorphose. Les photographies pointent le sublime de l’extraordinaire variété des cellules : la naissance du vivant.<br>\r\nLes photographies de Rahel Oberhummer révèlent deux nécessités indissociables : d’une part celle de comprendre le vivant même dans ses organismes les plus simples et d’autre part de le préserver. Parallèlement, il s’agit de créer des images qui manifestent la qualité visuelle des formes et des couleurs de ces micro-organismes. Notre rapport à la nature exige l’admiration de sa beauté. Aujourd’hui, des artistes comme Rahel Oberhummer s’engagent dans une double mission : participer activement à des processus scientifiques et créer des images sensibles tout autant que savantes.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Collaborations</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nSérie photographique réalisée en collaboration avec l’Institut fédéral de recherches sur la forêt, la neige et le paysage (WSL).

Elle a étudié aussi à la Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhague, à la Hochschule für Kunst und Design de Lucerne et au Billy Blue College of Design à Sydney. Au début de l’année 2026, elle a obtenu une résidence de trois mois à Hanoï, au Vietnam, dans le cadre d’un séjour de recherche soutenu par Pro Helvetia et accueilli par l’espace Exutoire. Elle vit et travaille à Vevey.<br>\r\nLa relation entre les structures sociales humaines et les formes de vie non humaines est au cœur de son approche artistique. Rahel Oberhummer se concentre sur les interactions subtiles entre les humains et l'environnement, avec une attention soutenue pour les écosystèmes dont nous dépendons et que nous mettons pourtant en danger. Des questions se posent, que l'artiste explore à travers une recherche scientifique autant qu’artistique.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.raheloberhummer.ch/\"><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; Site web de l'artiste Rahel Oberhummer</strong></a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Vernissage</strong> le jeudi 7 mai 2026 à 18 :30 <br>\r\n<strong>Exposition visible jusqu’au 11 octobre 2026<br>\r\nHall du RLC / entrée libre</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Image</u> :<em> </em>Dioszegia patagonica 001, Pochonia/Metacordyceps chlamydosporia 205, Pseudogymnoascus pannorum 511, Potato Dextrose Agar with sepia ink, 2022.</p>","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-03-16T17:17:43","last_modification_date":"2026-05-26T15:56:40","link_label":"","link_url":"","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"Hall du Rolex Learning Center","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==RLC%20G1%2094.12","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":[],"speaker":"<a href=\"https://www.raheloberhummer.ch/\">Rahel Oberhummer, artiste</a>","organizer":"Pôle Culture EPFL","contact":"<a href=\"mailto:veronique.mauron@epfl.ch\">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":"","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120096/","category":{"id":5,"code":"EXPO","fr_label":"Expositions","en_label":"Exhibitions","activated":true},"academic_calendar_category":null,"domains":[],"mementos":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json"]},{"id":72480,"title":"Brown Bag Seminar in Finance","slug":"brown-bag-seminar-in-finance-9","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/brown-bag-seminar-in-finance-9","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33725/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33725/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33725/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-12-08","end_date":"2026-12-08","start_time":"12:15:00","end_time":"13:15:00","description":"","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-08-31T15:23:49","last_modification_date":"2026-08-31T15:27:45","link_label":"","link_url":"","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"UNIL, Extranef, room 126","url_place_and_room":"","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"<a href=\"https://www.ma.imperial.ac.uk/~jmuhleka/www.ma.imperial.ac.uk/~jmuhleka/\">Johannes Muhle-Karbe - Imperial College London</a>","organizer":"","contact":"sophie.cadenakauz@epfl.ch","is_internal":"False","theme":"","vulgarization":{"id":2,"fr_label":"Public averti","en_label":"Informed public"},"registration":{"id":2,"fr_label":"Sur invitation","en_label":"Invitation required"},"keywords":"","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121641/","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/3/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/39/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/105/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/116/?format=json"]}]}
