Vol. 61 of Annual Reviews in Control is out now! 👏🏼 This issue of ARC is a particularly rich one, featuring 13 review papers and 2 tutorials.
For more details 👉🏼 buff.ly/pfdGLQo
🎙️ New episode! We explore the beautiful intersection of complexity, emergent behaviour, and feedback control with @mdiberna (@UninaIT). We discuss chaos and bifurcations, piecewise-smooth systems, complex networks, synthetic biology, COVID modeling, and control across scales! 🚀
In moving pedestrian crowds, influence appears sharply uneven: people at the front often shape not just nearby walkers, but the broader group's motion through branching chains of visual following. @RSocPublishingdoi.org/hbzggsphys.org/news/2026-04-emerge…
📢 2 post-doc positions in Modeling and Engineering Risk and Complexity @SSMeridionale (Naples)

Looking for candidates with strong background in:
control & dynamical systems
multi-agent systems & swarm robotics
scientific ML / reinforcement learning
complex networks, active matter
reliability & risk modelling
Highly interdisciplinary environment.
Real-time phase estimation of rhythms (heartbeat, gait, gestures) is challenging. We introduce ROPE: a robust method that makes it practical, with applications in life sciences and control.

w/ A. Spallone, @FrancescoDeLel4, @mdiberna
Honored and excited to deliver a plenary lecture at SICE FES 2026 in Yokohama! Looking forward to sharing our recent work on multiscale control of large-scale multi-agent systems with the Japanese control systems community. See you in September! 🇯🇵

Proud of what our research group accomplished in 2025! A thread on collective behavior, multi-agent control, and synthetic biology 🧵sites.google.com/site/dibern…
🧬 We also ventured into synthetic biology with Davide Salzano and Vittoria Martinelli: in-vivo multicellular control of gene expression & multicellular PID control. Bringing feedback control into living systems!
