Structural analysis is aimed at assessing proper ties that hold for a whole family of systems\, characterised by a given st ructure\, regardless of parameter values and precise functional expression s. We propose the BDC-decomposition as a tool for both a local and a globa l representation of a nonlinear system with an underlying network structur e. We show how the BDC-decomposition can help us structurally assess impor tant properties\, including stability\, stabilisability and the sign of st eady-state input-output influences in complex interconnected uncertain sys tems\, with a special focus on biochemical reaction networks.\n\nGiulia Gi ordano is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Trento\, I taly. She received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering a nd the Ph.D. degree in systems and control theory from the University of U dine\, Italy\, in 2010\, 2012\, and 2016\, respectively. She visited the C alifornia Institute of Technology\, Pasadena (CA)\, USA\, in 2012\, and th e University of Stuttgart\, Germany\, in 2015. She was a Research Fellow a t Lund University\, Sweden\, from 2016 to 2017\, and an Assistant Professo r at the Delft University of Technology\, The Netherlands\, from 2017 to 2 019. She was recognised with the Outstanding Reviewer Letter from the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control in 2016 and from the Annals of Internal Medicine in 2020. She received the EECI Ph.D. Award 2016\, the NAHS Best Paper Prize 2017\, and the SIAM Activity Group on Control and Systems Theo ry Prize 2021. Her main research interests include the analysis and the co ntrol of dynamical networks\, with applications especially to biology and epidemiology.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/MoRN/32/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
