Scientific talk by Benjamin Böbel (Macbes)Keeping Track of Daytime: Insights into the Internal Circadian System Abstract: Circadian clocks are biological regulatory networks on the cell level that exist in most organisms on earth. These regulatory networks are able to produce rhythmic outputs due to negative feedback loops. The circadian clock…
Scientific talk by Antonin Bavoil (McTao)Wind Energy Harvesting with a Kite Abstract: The scientific question addressed in this study is the maximisation of the average power produce by a device composed of a kite that follows an eight-shaped trajectory and a free-to-rotate horizontal arm; the kite is tethered to the…
Scientific talk by Frank de VeldMinimum Warning Time Optimization for low-thrust satellite collision avoidance with operational constraints Abstract: Due to a rapid increase in the number satellites and space debris objects in near-Earth space, it is now commonplace for satellites to perform collision avoidance manoeuvres within their lifetime. As many…
Scientific talk by Adel Annabi (McTao)Homogeneous observer for a low-dimensional neural fields model of cortical activity Abstract: We propose an observer design for a 3-dimensional model of cortical activity dynamics in the visual cortex, under the measurement of the averaged activity. It is based on the construction of an embedding…
