December 12th, 2024 at 11 am Wireless networks are the most interesting embodiment of telecommunication technologies. Wireless networks are those most influenced by the physics of space and time. The medium of information transport is the electromagnetic field, which interacts strongly with the environment and can undergo rapid variations, given…
October 3rd, 2024 Spikes and rhythms organize control and communication in the animal world, in contrast to the bits and clocks of digital technology. As continuous-time signals that can be counted, spikes have a mixed nature. This talk will review ongoing efforts to develop a control theory of spiking systems.…
April 18th, 2024 – 11:00 am The material flow problems under consideration are inspired by real experiments and allow for a multi-scale model hierarchy description. Starting from a detailed microscopic model based on individual trajectories, a corresponding macroscopic model is derived, leading to conservation laws with non-local interaction term. Both…
March 14th, 2024 Adaptation is a recurring theme in biology, offering vital survival mechanisms in dynamic environments through precise regulation of physiological variables. This talk dives into the intriguing concept of robust perfect adaptation (RPA), a phenomenon where a system maintains a specific variable at a setpoint despite persistent perturbations.…
The presentation wil be in French (see info here) May 16th, 2024 at 11:00 am Modular calculation is used in numerous mathematical applications, such as cryptography. Modular reduction in a very general context is costly, requiring mainly division. In practice, however, the modulo is often xed, for example when calculating…
