CENTER FOR NONLINEAR SYSTEMS(CNS)

Center for Nonlinear Systems (CNS)

About the Center:

The Center for Nonlinear Systems (CNS) is an extension research division of Center for Nonlinear Dynamics, Institute of Research and Development, Ministry of National Defense, Ethiopia. CNS is a core research facility focused towards various research activities in the areas related to Nonlinear Systems, Dynamics and Control.

Vision:

Create a world class research facility to Identify and study complex nonlinear phenomena different approaches and methodologies and apply them to investigate nonlinear physical systems.

Mission:

  • Identify and study complex nonlinear phenomena using a diverse set of research approaches and methodologies, particularly those of Nonlinear Dynamics, nonlinear science, Secure Communication and Cryptography.

  • Promote the use of scientific results in applied research.

  • Stimulate the formation of interdisciplinary approaches to complex problems.

  • Facilitate the interchange of scientific results and ideas between Laboratory scientists and external centers of excellence.

  • Encourage the exploration of new scientific frontiers at the interface between conventional disciplines.

  • Support a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary science that underpins the Laboratory’s mission in national security.

Specific Objectives:

  • Create International pool of expert team for various joint researches in Non-Linear Dynamics.

  • Create a university environment of innovation: CNS will bring together research and education across a broad spectrum of Nonlinear Dynamics in order to foster multidisciplinary discoveries and inventions that arise through the mixing of students, faculty and researchers across traditional disciplinary boundaries.

  • Integrate education and research: in addition to course work, graduate students will participate in research throughout their education; each CNS faculty member will both teach and engage in research.

  • Develop and embed university components of an innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem within India. These university components include formal and informal education in Nonlinear Dynamics, as well as university policies and structures for interfacing with industrial commercialization and venture opportunities as they develop at University and elsewhere.

  • Lay the foundation for a world-class research center that will help attract, create, and retain both Indian and international talent to CIT.

  • Create External funding opportunities.
