Complex Dynamical Systems Laboratory (CDSL)
Subhradeep Roy, Ph.D.
Tenure-Track Assistant Professor
Mechanical Engineering Department
Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University
Welcome to CDSL! We are located in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University, just minutes away from the world famous Daytona Beach. At CDSL, we foster interdisciplinary collaboration to identify and decipher fundamental research questions arising in the natural world. Primarily the research goal is to advance the understanding of complex dynamics in both networked man-made and self-organizing biological systems that inform robust control algorithms in engineered systems. CDSL takes an interdisciplinary and data-driven approach to study the influence of pairwise interactions on higher-order system dynamics. CDSL targets diverse systems including biologically inspired robotic swarms, brain connectivity networks, and traffic and transportation networks.
