Wishing the best of luck to everyone on the market this year!

The list grows throughout the season thanks to contributions from colleagues across the field.

It was the perfect mix of good conversations, ocean views, and a beautiful sunset, bringing together young researchers in a relaxed setting to connect, share ideas, and build new friendships. A big thanks to everyone who joined us and we look forward to creating more moments like this in the future!

(8) It provided not only funding, but also invaluable opportunities to collaborate with leading experts in both academia and industry. This experience has helped me develop as a researcher and deepened my expertise in my field.

(7) 🏆 What’s a moment of your career you are proud of?
One moment I’m particularly proud of is being awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship to support my PhD research.

(6) My research applies control theory to design fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control algorithms, helping ensure that maritime navigation remains safe and reliable, even when something goes wrong on board.

(5) 🔬 What’s you research on and why is it important?
I research on the ships of the future- safer, more efficient, and autonomous.

(4) It was the experience of seeing mathematical models and equations come to life in real-world systems. The encouragement and mentorship of my controls professor further inspired me to pursue this field.

(3) 🔧 Why have you decided to study control engineering?
During my bachelors degree, I had the opportunity to work on several robotics projects that sparked my interest in control engineering.

(2) Outside of academia, I enjoy spending time in nature and exploring new places through travel.

(1) 📌 Briefly introduce yourself
I hold bachelor's and master's degrees in Electrical and Control engineering, and I am currently pursuing a PhD at Delft University of Technology, where my research focuses on applying control theory to maritime systems.

(11) A year later, NextCom was created, and I still remember how welcomed I felt at the ACC 2024 breakfast welcoming event, and since then I knew that I wanted to be part of this initiative and help others feel welcomed and supported in their journey as young researchers.

(10) When I first started attending control conferences three years ago, I noticed there were limited opportunities specifically designed to help early-stage Ph.D. students and young researchers connect.

(9) I want to make a difference in the Control Systems Society by supporting students and early-career researchers in building strong, lasting connections within the research community.

(8) Despite differences in language and culture, I worked on a unified purpose of designing dynamic decision-making systems to solve real-world problems that would positively impact other people’s lives. That same motivation drives my interest in contributing to NextCom.
