Asteroids and space debris represent a significant hazard for space and terrestrial assets; at the same time asteroids represent also an opportunity. In recent years it has become clear that the increasing population of space debris could lead to catastrophic consequences in the near term. The Kessler syndrome (where the density of objects in orbit is high enough that collisions could set off a ca ...

We propose novel methods for modelling, analysis and control of complex, large scale systems. Fundamental research is motivated by applied problems in power networks. We adopt the framework of stochastic hybrid systems (SHS), which allows one to capture the interaction between continuous dynamics, discrete dynamics and probabilistic uncertainty. In the context of power networks, SHS arise naturall ...
