We investigate the conditions under which a given network topology can support an asymptotically stable equilibrium in linear systems, in both discrete and continuous time. This question arises naturally in the study of decentralized networked systems, where stability properties are...

Wave manipulation is a long-standing challenge in both science and engineering. I will present two different approaches developed in my group that share one feature: both are driven by broken symmetries. First, I will introduce our approach for breaking Hermitian...

The seminar is part of the monthly seminar series, presented in English by graduate students of the Mechanical Engineering Faculty for graduate students. The seminars are scheduled on the first Sunday of the month, 12:30-13:00 (seminar), 13:00-13:30 (lunch).

Underactuated wheeled vehicles are commonly studied as nonholonomic systems with periodic actuation. Twistcar is a classical example inspired by a riding toy, which has been analyzed using a planar model of a dynamical system with nonholonomic constraints. In this work,...
