My group's research is focused on control
and design in large-scale dynamical networks.
One critical aspect of our work is to identify control
and design problems of common interest
in networks---i.e., problems concerned with
shaping the temporal responses of network components. We identify
such problems through modeling efforts in
a range of application areas, including air traffic flow management,
epidemiology, sleep regulation,
sensor and vehicle networking, and electric
power system analysis. The second focus of our research
is to address these control/design problems in modern networks;
our designs/controls are able to complete complex tasks
in an efficient manner, because they exploit the
network's topological structure and hence permit cooperation
among its components. This research is currently supported by
the National Science Foundation (two grants), National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National
Institutes of Health. |
