ModConFlexCongratulations to Zhuo, who successfully defended his thesis on the
Stabilization of systems describing the motion of rigid bodies interacting with a fluid
at Bordeaux university this week.
The first #ModConFlex researcher to defend his thesis!

The next generation: ModConFlex project paves the way for new technologies and careers
In the EU project ModConFlex, 14 young international scientists are conducting basic research that may contribute to the modelling of various industrial applications such as wind turbines and aircraft wings in the future. Before the project ends, they will meet at the University of Wuppertal in June to discuss their research in person for the last time and strengthen their network.
Many thanks to the Julius Maximilians Universität Würzburg and Leon Bungert for hosting #MSCA researcher Albert Alcalde for two months. It lead to another #ModConFlex paper:
Quantifying Concentration Phenomena of Mean-Field Transformers in the Low-Temperature Regime
by Albert Alcalde, Leon Bungert, Konstantin Riedl, Tim Roith

"Data-Driven Parametric Aeroelastic Modeling of the Pazy Wing", AIAA SciTech 2026.
developing physics-informed machine learning models that learn accurate, simplified representations of highly flexible aircraft wings from very small amounts of simulation data, capturing how system trajectories and stability evolve across different operating conditions.

Last week, ModConFlex researchers and professors from Besançon, Twente and Wuppertal met at the Franco-German Doctoral College at Wuppertal.
It was a great opportunity to talk and exchange with more recent and long-term members of the PHS community.
Congratulations to the very productive #ModConFlex researchers! Over 20 papers have been written within our #MSCA project so far - several of them published.

Boundary control systems on a one-dimension spatial domain - new paper co-authored by #ModConFlex researcher Bouchra Elghazi:
The paper studies when mathematical models of flexible structures with control at their boundaries are well posed. The authors identify the conditions under which the models can be fully controlled and observed.
This is useful for controlling and monitoring vibrations in structures like beams, aircraft wings, or wind-turbine blades.
#ModConFlex researcher Qian Liu recently co-authored a paper in #IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics journal.
It comprises research on developing advanced control strategies for inverter-based resources (e.g., solar photovoltaics, wind turbine generators) to ride through contingencies in electric grids.

The winner of this year's presentation prize is #ModConFlex researcher Albert Alcalde. Congratulations!!
In his presentation, Albert showed how #transformer models, the #NeuralNetworks used in language models, can be designed to perfectly learn relationships between sequences of data.
Albert's results help to explain why transformers are so effective at capturing complex patterns, providing new mathematical insight into their inner workings.

#ModConFlex third Network Meeting took place in the picturesque center of Besançon.
The management presentation and meetings were quickly followed by the 13 #MSCA researchers' presentations. While the presentations were overall above average, only one could win the presentation prize... .
The scientific teaching was provided not only by #HorizonEU project members but complemented by lectures from Denis Matignon (ISAE-SUPAERO) and Hector Ramirez (Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria).
