The National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded the Regents of the University of Michigan $300,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance research in dynamics, integrability, and control of mechanical and physical systems. The research encompasses the geometry, dynamics, and control of mechanical systems including Hamiltonian and Lagrangian systems, integrable systems, nonholonomic systems with velocity constraints, and gradient flows. Work addresses coupled Hamiltonian and gradient systems in both classical and quantum contexts, with applications spanning optimal control of robotic systems and vehicles, legged robotic locomotion, machine learning in robotics, and quantum system design and decoherence control. The project also analyzes coupled biological systems such as interacting cells. Educational activities integrate dynamical systems, mechanics, robotics, control, and machine learning into graduate and undergraduate research projects. Performance occurs at Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029. The award is classified as a Project Grant.
