A search for structure.

Hi, my name is Wout (01) and I am a postdoctoral researcher, now at UCLouvain (INMA), soon at KTH Stockholm and Digital Futures (02). I am broadly interested in the mathematical side of systems & control theory (03), in particular, I am fascinated by the synergy with topology and questions that arise in the context of synthetic biology. Feel free to reach out.

Control theory

A hidden technology?

My research is centered around understanding if and how dynamical systems can be altered. As an achievement of our field, going to the moon stands out, but modern questions of great interest are for instance: "Can we reverse malignant tumour growth?" or "Can we reverse climate change?"

"He had one big idea and ... that was the idea of relating many kinds of mathematical and scientific problems to the study of vector fields on manifolds and the properties of the related flows. That was his central theme and central mechanism."

On "the art of the state" (repost).

In the last issue of the IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Prof. Sepulchre wrote an exhilarating short piece on the art of the state, or as he (also) puts it ``the definite victory of computation over modeling in science and engineering''. As someone with virtually no track record, I am happy to also shed my light on the matter.
