Dynamical systems theory is useful to explain the behavior of complex systems over time. And, since we live in a changing world, it is important to understand how things change. For example, people use planes, cars, trains to move from one point to another point. Thus, it is important not only to study how people travel, but also it is important to study the means of transport that people use. Once we understand how things work, it is important to control the systems so that they behave according to their specifications.

Our research focus on how to improve the quality of life, especially in Indonesia, using dynamical and control systems theory. That includes how to improve agricultural production, transportation networks, and national defense.
