Virginia Tech mathematician wins international award

John A. Burns has been awarded the W. T. and Idelia Reid Prize in Mathematics for his fundamental contributions to computational methods and applications in control, design, and optimization of infinite dimensional dynamical systems. He is currently working on reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions through modeling, s...

For most outfielders, luck has nothing to do with catching flies

A study published in the Journal of Vision found that outfielders catch fly balls by tracking optical acceleration, rather than predicting the ball's trajectory. The research used a virtual environment to test three major theories of fly catching, and confirmed that baseball players continuously track the ball and run forward or backwa...

Loyola University Chicago professor honored

Rafal Goebel, an Assistant Professor at Loyola University Chicago, will be honored with the SIAM Activity Group on Control and Systems Theory Prize for his contributions to hybrid systems and control theory. The prize recognizes his novel results on well-posedness of solutions and robustness of asymptotic stability in hybrid control sy...

When seeing IS believing

A study by Adam Galinsky and Jennifer Whitson found that individuals seek to regain control by perceiving connections between unrelated events, leading to superstitions and conspiratorial thinking. Restoring a sense of control can normalize perceptions and behavior.

IU Health & Wellness: New research findings from the Kinsey Institute

The study, which examined men's reports of sexual desire and arousal, found that factors like depression, relationships, and scent play a significant role in shaping their experiences. The Kinsey Institute's dual control model suggests that separate systems for excitation and inhibition exist within the central nervous system.

New simulator is next step on the road to developing quantum computers

Researchers have developed a novel simulator that can recreate quantum behavior in atoms and particles, enabling control over individual parts of a quantum system. This breakthrough is crucial for developing powerful quantum computers that can perform calculations billions of times faster than normal computers.

Flick of a protein switches immune response

The USC-Harvard team identified a protein switch that regulates the immune response, shedding light on the balance between tolerance and aggression in autoimmune diseases. The finding supports the combinatorial control theory of gene expression, with implications for understanding signal transduction and transcriptional networks.
