Talks and presentations
Notable talks, workshops, panel presentation and keynotes, with a focus on international events
June 25, 2025
Conference proceedings talk, European Control Conference 2025, Thessaloniki, Greece
I presented our paper forcused on avoiding singularities in the motion of Delta robots using control barrier functions. The interesting thing about it is that model mimatch in the control approach is considered and avoided using a deterministic RKHS bound on the Gaussian process model of the mismatch. The slides are avalable here.

Plenary Keynote, European Control Conference 2025, Thessaloniki, Greece
I co-organized and chaired the tutorial session on Entrepreneurship in Control of the European Control Conference 2025 in Thessaloniki and gave a keynote about presenting research with entrepreneurship in mind - drawing examples from our research in control and optimization of 3D printing. Here is more info about this tutorial. The website contains many useful resourses - in particular, how to find applications and how to extend the scope of your research. My slides are available upon request.

Plenary Keynote, Innovation Booster Robotics, AI in Robotics, Rotkreuz, Switzerland
I gave a keynote about flexible robotics ooperation on this event of the Innovation Booster Robotics. The slides are available upon request.
September 01, 2024
Debate moderation, IEEE CASE 2024, Bari, Italy
IEEE Conference on Automation, Science, and Engineering, September 2024, Bari, Italy – Workshop Translating Manufacturing Control and Automation Research to Practice: Examples, Challenges, and Opportunities. More information here.
June 30, 2024
Panel, European Control Conference 2024, Stockholm, Sweden
Also during the 2024 edition of ECC I participated in a panel discussion, focused on bridging control research to industry applications, during a tutorial session – Automatic Control Horizon: Roadmap and Industrial Innovation.
June 28, 2024
Talk, European Control Conference, Workshop Bayesian optimization meets control, Stockholm, Sweden
During the this pre-ECC workshop I presented several Bayesian optimization algorithms, suitable for optimization in manufacturing, bacause they can handle unknown safety constraints, and they can ensure continuous optimization (thus taking into account process drifts).
March 28, 2024
Plenary Keynote, Benelux meeting on Systems and Control, Blankenberge, Belgium
I gave the opening keynote about data-driven optimization and control in manufacturing applications. The slides are available here.
March 28, 2024
Plenary, Swiss Technology Days, 2024, Dubendorf, Switzerland
I one of the keynotes, on the topic of data-driven optimization and control in manufacturing applications.
