Cordiano, F. (author), Fochesato, Marta (author), Huang, Linbin (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)We present a model predictive control framework for a class of nonlinear systems affected by additive stochastic disturbances with (possibly) unbounded support. We consider hard input constraints and chance state constraints and we employ the unscented transform method to propagate the disturbances over the nonlinear dynamics in a...journal article 2023

Bittencourt, V. A.S.V. (author), Potts, C.A. (author), Huang, Y. (author), Davis, J. P. (author), Viola Kusminskiy, S. (author)The radiation pressurelike coupling between magnons and phonons in magnets can modify the phonon frequency (magnomechanical spring effect) and decay rate (magnomechanical decay) via dynamical backaction. Such effects have been recently observed by coupling the uniform magnon mode of a magnetic sphere (the Kittel mode) to a microwave cavity....journal article 2023

Huang, J. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author), Nan, L. (author)Symmetry widely exists in nature and man-made shapes, but it is unavoidably distorted during the process of growth, design, digitalization, and reconstruction steps. To enhance symmetry, traditional methods follow the detect-then-symmetrize paradigm, which is sensitive to noise in the detection phase, resulting in ambiguities for the...journal article 2023
