“Facts are many, but the truth is one.” ― Rabindranath Tagore
The primary focus of CDSL research is to study real-world dynamical systems, both from natural and engineered origins, through an interdisciplinary approach.
At CDSL, we integrate theoretical, experimental, and computational research to create a comprehensive research program with three key objectives:
(Objective 1) study of interactions in real-world networked systems,
(Objective 2) contribute to data analysis tools for modeling real-world interactions and complex systems,
(Objective 3) build bio-inspired robust artificial systems using analytical frameworks.
CDSL research is supported by the National Science Foundation (CMMI-2238359).
