  • IEEE NextCom (Fostering Community Within Controls Research)
    Dec 27 2025

    In this episode I talk to some wonderful members of IEEEcontrol systems society (CSS) NextCom committee about their work fostering inclusivity and belonging within CSS, as well as empowering the next generation of leaders within control. We also cover how you can be a part of this!
