    Gioele Zardini (Engineering Trade-offs and Co-design)
    Mar 1 2026
    In this episode I got to speak with the fantastic Gioele Zardini about his work on the co-design framework, a fascinating framework used to optimise large interconnected systems. We cover the theoretical background of this, intuition behind it, and a ton of different applications where it’s useful, as well as discussing exciting open questions in the field!

    Meet the Faculty Candidates (Fascinating research from the CDC poster session)
    Jan 9 2026
    In this bonus episode I explore the work of ten fascinating researchers that I met at the Meet the Faculty Candidates poster session at CDC last month. We cover a wide array of different areas, including data-driven methods, fault-tolerant control, biological systems, PDEs, distributed estimation and a whole lot more! Correction: At ~5:20 I mention that Anju was able to characterize the strategies of the two communicating entities at the Nash equilibrium - In actual fact this is a Stackelberg equilibrium (Stackelberg games involve players acting sequentially, taking either a leader or follower role)You can view the transcript for this episode at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15Tf4ORHPI5Thbs-nA9DQTSu87TKbYni9JJN2UXqn5kU/edit?usp=sharingFollow the podcast on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/coffee-and-control-podcast/Or connect with me directly: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucy-hodgins-733a30175/ Links and referencesAmy Strong: https://bridgeman.pratt.duke.edu/people/amy-strongPaper on data-driven invariance: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.19231 Anju Anand: https://sites.google.com/binghamton.edu/anjuanandStrategic quantisation: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=10960399Incorporating privacy into the objective: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.06321 Brian Block: https://mae.osu.edu/people/block.168Control of PDE traffic flow: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.04823 Declan Jagt: https://search.asu.edu/profile/3729730Stability analysis of coupled multivariate PDEs: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.14840 Scalar quadratic PDEs: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=10384073PIETOOLS software: https://control.asu.edu/pietools/pietoolsHamza El-Kebir: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hamza-el-kebir/Control authority degradation paper: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=10354437Sensor and actuator degradation: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=10521243Electrosurgery paper: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rsif/article/21/210/20230420/90578/Heat-conduction-in-live-tissue-duringElectrostatic signed distance functions: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.12554 Kirill Sechkar: https://engbio.ox.ac.uk/people/kirill-sechkarControl of genetic circuits paper: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.01.646303v2.full.pdf Nick Marios Kokolakis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-marios-t-kokolakis-44717b164/Pre-defined time RL paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0005109825003152 Parth Paritosh: https://pptx.github.io/pparitosh/Estimating a subset of variables: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.01227Privacy preserving paper: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/11073227Radoslaw Patelski: https://www.linkedin.com/in/radoslaw-patelski/?originalSubdomain=plObservers for hovercraft: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9874346ADRC with parameter identification: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/10345678ADRC with adaptive input gain: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0019057825001089 Carmen Amo Alonso: https://camoalon.github.io/Research overview: https://camoalon.github.io/research/Comparing mixer blocks: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.15731 Intro to state space models in deep learning: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.16899 Combining generative AI with control in robotics: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.10762

    In this month’s episode got to talk to Dr Carrie Weidner allabout controlling quantum systems! I find out what the control objective is forthese systems, how to characterise their robustness (or at least attempt to),how easy it is to apply this to practical systems, and a lot more besides.You can find the transcript at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aixaD-P6R6jFDjS4Zp6nJ2n5ZHPfbWKYCue2v2_ZCVU/edit?usp=sharing Follow the podcast on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/coffee-and-control-podcast/Or connect with me directly: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucy-hodgins-733a30175/ReferencesPhD thesis: https://jila.colorado.edu/sites/default/files/2019-03/Weidner_PhD_final.pdfSabine Hauert episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/65iwMh2NstKqXvfATpzfm4Sabine episode transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12t_8k9LRckeGB--YVDS0XWnOeLX8sQcY3njA7jBCj1o/edit?usp=sharingCarrie’s quantum control survey: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.00294 Sophie Shermer: https://www.swansea.ac.uk/staff/s.schirmer/Frank Langbein: https://langbein.org/Edmond Jonckheere: https://ee.usc.edu/~jonckhee/Sean O’Neil: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=250lKHEAAAAJ&hl=enPhila Rembold: https://qusco-itn.eu/portfolio_page/phila-rembold-2/Bases in quantum control: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.20889Nelder-Mead optmisation: http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Nelder-Mead_algorithm#Advantages_and_disadvantageshttps://brandewinder.com/2022/03/31/breaking-down-Nelder-Mead/Ronnie Kosloff: https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/en/connect/explore-the-humboldt-network/singleview/1211067/prof-dr-ronnie-kosloffBelavkin-Carmichael quantum filter: https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0510028Luenburg filter papers: https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.06454 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6426181Non-Markovian systems papers: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1367-2630/14/7/073023 https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.09637 Christiane Koch: https://atominnen.at/empower/interviews/382-christiane-kochOpen quantum systems paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0953-8984/28/21/213001Carrie’s mu analysis paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.12385 Randa Herzallah: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/maths/people/staff/herzallah/Paper on quantum optimal control: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00207179.2024.2342939Quantum thermodynamics paper: https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.98.012139Irtaza Khalid: https://profiles.cardiff.ac.uk/staff/khalidmiRobustness-infidelity metric paper: https://journals.aps.org/pra/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevA.107.032606Time-domain log-sensitivity paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.15783 Unifying log-sensitivity and RIM: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.09518 Robust quantum control papers:https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.05372https://arxiv.org/pdf/2008.13691 Energy landscape shaping paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1367-2630/addc0dJacob Sherson: https://jacobsherson.com/David DiVincenzo: https://qutech.nl/person/david-divincenzo/ Enrico Fermi: https://www.dpma.de/english/our_office/publications/milestones/greatinventors/enricofermi/index.htmlPhysical review letters paper: https://link.aps.org/accepted/10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.263201Point spread modification paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.05341
