New Compensators for Non-Minimum Phase Systems

Non-minimum phase systems are relevant class of dynamic systems with unstable internal dynamics. For such systems, even though the complementary external dynamics are stabilized by state-feedback control, internal states may still converge slowly or even diverge. Focusing on linear systems, trans...

Insulin signaling pathways in skeletal muscle

Type 2 diabetes is associated with insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, in which the transmission of signals within the cells is impaired. This results in an aberrant glucose and lipid metabolism that negatively impacts whole body glycemic control. Importantly, alterations in insulin signaling ...

Optimal shape design for cardiovascular flows

Ruptured brain aneurysms account for 3-5% of all new strokes worldwide and are fatal in about 50% of cases. Analysis of cardiovascular diseases through the simulation of the blood flow has the potential to identify aneurysms (in particular intracranial aneurysms) of high rupture risk and to optim...

Lie groups and manifolds of non-smooth mappings

We propose to construct and study Lie groups of paths of bounded variation with values in a Lie group. The driving motivation for this construction comes from the theory of rough paths. Rough path theory was invented by T. Lyons in the 90s and provides a fresh look at integration and differential...

Dendritic computation during hippocampal network oscillations

Hjernen utgjør et enormt nettverk av nerveceller som er bundet sammen av aksoner. Aksoner er lange, tynne nervefibre som overfører informasjon fra cellekroppen til synapsene, hvor nervecellene kommuniserer med hverandre. Aksonet er altså nødvendig for å lede nervecellens signaler videre. Kunnskap...
