I- Dynamics, control and synchronization of nonlinear oscillators and applications in Engineering (mechanical, electrical, electromechanical and communication) with the following aims:

a- Modelling, theoretical and experimental development of single and networks of prototypes of automation devices such as electromechanical systems at the macro, micro and nano-scales. Some of our devices are devised taking inspiration from biological organs and intelligent plants.

b- Dynamics of networks of Nonlinear Electrical/Electronic Oscillators for
- chaotic masking of communication,
- power generators.

c- Optimization of synchronization of semiconductor lasers for
- optical chaos cryptography,
- laser power enhancement.

d- Control of vibrations and catastrophes in mechanical structures.

II- Biological physics

a-Dynamics of the cardiovascular system with the following goals
- finding good mechanical and geometric characteristics of vessels prostheses,
- new models for heart pacemakers and ventricle assist devices.

b- Intercellular communications with the following goals
- how ionic waves such as calcium waves propagate in biological organs,
- how the effects of an infection on a given cell are sensed by neighbouring cells.

c- Modelling of regulatory transition from latency to virulent state (quorum sensing) of bacteria attacking plants (in collaboration with Professor Jacques-Alexandre Sepulchre of Institut Non Linéaire de Nice (France))

III- Development of appropriate devices to face basic real-life problems in developing countries.

Here we aim to contribute in various ways to the development of appropriate technical and technological devices for use in developing world (for details on our realizations, contact our group).
