Research

Quotes:

"Professor Doyle's current research interests are in theoretical foundations for complex networks, primarily in network engineering and biology." He is also "interested in multiscale physics and financial markets, and the interplay between robustness, feedback, control, dynamical systems, computation, communications, and statistical physics". [1]

Prof. Doyle has "applied complex ideas of robust design and control to many fields and is working on a unified theory of control in engineering, physics and biology" [2]
