Welcome to our ‘Behind the Scenes’ podcasts dedicated to EU research and innovation. In this series, journalist Jennifer Baker spends time with some of Europe’s most brilliant scientists and innovators, whose discoveries are having a lasting and important impact on our daily lives.
From Atlantic ocean health checks, pioneering cancer vaccines and quantum computing games to zero-waste houses, new-breed organic farming, and recycling textile. These and other compelling stories await listeners in our latest pods.
Earlier in the series to celebrate the annual Research & Innovation Days we explored everything from the inner-secrets of biophysics, fungal architectures, robotics and automatic control, and we ventured to the outer-reaches of Arctic research, radio astronomy, and computer engineering.
Behind the Scenes SEASON TWO brings you inspiring science but also the stories and journeys of the people behind them.
This podcast series is an initiative of the European Commission. It brings together policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs and the public to debate and shape the future of Research and Innovation in Europe and beyond.

In the third episode of our series, Jennifer Baker talks to Dimos Dimarogonas, Professor of automatic control at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Dimos is working on the Co4Robots project, exploring better ways to communicate with groups of robots cooperating and working collectively. In the podcast, he shares his passion for mathematics and talks about his role as project coordinator.
Professor Dimos Dimarogonas received his Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2001 and PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 2007 from the National Technical University of Athens. He is currently Professor at the Division of Decision and Control Systems at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at KTH.
His research interests include multi-agent and hybrid systems, robot navigation and manipulation, and networked control. Dimos is the coordinator of the Co4Robots project. He received a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant in 2014, an ERC Consolidator Grant in 2019, and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Academy Fellowship in 2015.
