International Projects:
Our project proposal with Chili in collaboration with Prof. Hugues Garnier, has been selected by the ECOS-Sud Programme. The collaboration starts in 2022 for 3 years. The goal is to develop deep learning-based methods for identifying continuous-time nonlinear systems.
Invited Talks:
November 2022: Invited Lecture at NASA Ames Research Centers , Prognostics Centre of Excellence (PCOE lecture series),
on the topic 'Safe Reinforcement Learning and Prognostics' , wherein our on going activities at CRAN - Research Centre for Automatic Control on Safe Learning, activities on prognostics and control with Centre National d'Études Spatiales, and prognostics under limited data, were presented.
