Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.

Abstract: This lecture aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current research in control theory and its applications. Rooted in physics, engineering, and mathematics, this field integrates the modeling of dynamical systems, stability analysis of control models, and the design of efficient (or even optimal) control strategies.
The lecture will highlight the key milestones that have shaped modern research in control theory and systems, with a particular focus on my contributions, as CNRS researcher, obtained with co-authors. We will explore how control plays a central role in addressing critical societal, informatics, and engineering challenges.
Additionally, we will introduce ongoing research projects, including those related to high-dimensional systems, the control of uncertain systems, and the « deluge » of AI-based approaches transforming the field.
