Title Neuromorphic Decision Dynamics for Multiagent Control in Contested Environments Abstract Coming soon Background Naomi Ehrich Leonard is Chair and Edwin S. Wilsey Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, associated faculty with the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics and the Biophysics Graduate Program and affiliated faculty with the Princeton Neuroscience Institute and the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning at Princeton University. She is Founding Director of creativeX, a Princeton engineering-and-the-arts collective, and Founding Editor of Annual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems. Leonard received her B.S.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Princeton University in 1985 and her PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland in 1994. She is a MacArthur Fellow, member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Fellow of the ASME, IEEE, IFAC,and SIAM. Recent awards include the 2023 IEEE Control Systems Award, the 2024 Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award and the 2025 IEEE George S. Axelby Outstanding Paper Award. Her current research focuses on dynamics, control and learning for multi-agent systems on networks with application to multi-robot teams, collective animal behavior and other networked systems in technology, nature and the arts. The Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering Distinguished Seminar Series features scholars from a wide range of peer institutions across the country. The events are open to all faculty, staff and students looking to spark their curiosity and learn about high-impact research from some of the world's most prominent experts in mechanical engineering.
