Sofiia Serhiienko, participated in the EECI Summer School M16, held at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom.During the course Optimization and Control of Complex Multi-Agent Systems, she explored modern approaches to optimization and control of complex multi-agent systems. The program focused on distributed optimization, coordination of networked systems, and decision-making under uncertainty.The course was taught by leading researchers Kostas Margellos (University of Oxford), Alessandro Falsone, and Maria Prandini (Politecnico di Milano).Summer schools are about much more than lectures. They provide an opportunity to meet people tackling similar research challenges, exchange ideas, build new friendships, and gain fresh inspiration to pursue research with even greater enthusiasm.

Sofiia Serhiienko, MSc., Ananya Lohani, and Ing. Gyula Kurucz.All three are PhD students in the new English-language study program Smart Process Control, which provides greater flexibility in scientific research and supports the development of interdisciplinary research.We sincerely congratulate them on successfully passing the doctoral examination and wish them many more successes in the future.

Jones:Distributed Real-Time Cooperative Model Predictive ControlThe paper presents a novel method for reliable real-time optimal control, enabling incredibly fast evaluation of control action. The proposed method outperforms other relevant approaches in terms of runtimes/accuracy.
