Research activities
SECO’s research activities focus on:
- Techniques for analyzing flows in cellular metabolic networks taking into account the uncertainties of measurements, and the indeterminacy linked to the lack of measurements.
- Techniques for reducing metabolic models to macroscopic models.
- Modeling and parametric estimation of complex biological systems.
- Representation of nonlinear dynamical systems using the Koopman operator and the Extended Dynamic Mode Decomposition (EDMD) method.
- Model-free optimization techniques of the Extremum Seeking type.
- Agent-based models, for the representation of complex systems.
- Hybrid modeling of systems based on knowledge and machine learning.
- State estimation and control of distributed parameter systems.
- Hierarchical control of industrial processes using cloud and edge computing.
- Robust and safe control of drones and optimal trajectory planning.
