NORTHERN RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP
Controlling Chaos in Engineering & Medical Systems
Understanding and Controlling the Nonlinear Features of Physical and Biological Systems and their Complicated and Intricate Features of Order and Randomness Can Significantly Enhance System Performance.
Significant investment in mathematical modelling of engineering processes within Partnership (Centre for Applied Dynamics Research CADR).
Recent appointments include Celso Grebogi who established that chaos can be controlled and developed the OGY Method to control it (over 4,000 citations in this topic alone).
