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...

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,...

This research aims to enhance the functionality and capabilities of electrically-powered microswimmer robots using optical fields. Microswimmers are synthetic microstructures that operate in fluid environments and can perform a range of tasks, including guided motion, cargo transport and release, chemical...

Optical components are essential for space applications, yet their fabrication remains constrained by Earth-based manufacturing methods. In this seminar, I will present recent advances in creating and characterizing liquid-based optical elements directly in microgravity, focusing on the experimental formation and...

Lattice structures have become increasingly popular in various applications due to their lightweight and wide range of effective properties that can be locally tailored by adjusting their geometric features. Finite element (FE) simulations are commonly used to predict their mechanical...
