Delayed-feedback stabilization of magneto-elastic chaos was experimentally archived by Prof Hikihara [Hikihara and Kawagoshi, Phys. Lett. A. 211, 29 (1996)].  Koopman operator theory, which is an infinite-dimensional linear operator defined for nonlinear dynamical systems, in systems and control is pursed by Associate Prof Susuki [[[w/ Alexandre Mauroy and Igor Mezic (editors), '''The Koopman Operator in Systems and Control''', Springer Nature, 2020:https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-35713-9]]].  We are currently active in studying the following topics on nonlinear dynamics and control:  

-- Statistics of chaos;
-- Spatio-temporal dynamics described by infinite-dimensional systems;
-- Energy and entropy;
-- and Passivity based system design.
-- Operator-theoretic approaches such as Koopman and Perron-Frobenius operators; 
-- Passivity based system design.
//-- Dynamics and control of large coupled oscillators.
//-- Bifurcation of hybrid dynamical systems
//-- Energy and power-based characterization of synchronization.

>is also a research obeject in nonlinear/hybrid dynamics and control.  Needless to say, a power grid is a massively huge physical network for energy management system of modern society and is regarded as a safety-critical system.   Analysis and control based on nonlinear/hybrid dynamics are an essential key to the requirement.  We are currently studying the following topics:
