OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
