Welcome to C-NORA!

C-NORA is one of the 321 proposals (among 2.222 applications) that will be funded across Europe and in all scientific fields within the ERC-2022-CoG (ERC Consolidator Grants) call. This is one of the two proposals, within this call, which will be funded in Greece. C-NORA (2023–2028) is hosted by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, at Technical University of Crete (TUC), Greece.

In various real-world systems, continuous (in time/space) transport is the main dynamic characteristic. Two examples are blood transport and epidemics transport. Motivated by the urgent need of design of efficient/safe, epidemics spreading suppression and blood transport monitoring strategies, C-NORA suggests to view different, heterogeneous systems from a “transport” perspective, aiming at development of designs that harmonize control at both micro and macro levels, while addressing key technical features. Focusing on the transport phenomenon provides an opportunity to develop computationally tractable control designs for large-scale, distributed parameter transport systems and enables combination of Partial Differential Equation (PDE) control tools with traffic flow control tools, towards control and estimation of general systems.
