The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $470,000 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) under the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The grant, awarded on October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2028, will fund research on "Disorder, Fragility and Localization in Networked Control and Dynamical Systems." The research aims to study a recently discovered type of network vulnerability arising from certain patterns in network interconnections, and to uncover the underlying mathematical reasons for both network resilience and vulnerability. Findings from this research on large-scale networks, such as electric power grids and biological systems, will be applied to real-world critical infrastructure to enhance their resilience to disturbances, uncertainties, and exogenous shocks.
