Bekiaris-Liberis

**Nikolaos Bekiaris-Liberis** is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technical University of Crete. His research focuses on control theory, nonlinear systems, and partial differential equations (PDEs), with applications to traffic flow, epidemics modeling, cardiovascular systems, and microfluidics. He leads a research team funded by grants such as the ERC Consolidator Grant (C-NORA) and HFRI Research Projects (ORAMA).

Education and Affiliations: While specific educational details are not provided, his extensive work in PDE-based control systems indicates a strong background in applied mathematics and engineering. He collaborates with institutions like CNRS LS2N (France) and the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator SA.

Research Interests: His work addresses stabilization of nonlinear systems with delays, quantization effects, and PDE dynamics. Key areas include:

• Predictor-Feedback Stabilization for systems with input/state delays
• Control of hyperbolic PDEs and large-scale systems
• Epidemics transport dynamics and traffic flow modeling
• Microfluidics and cardiovascular flow analysis

Advising and Grants: He supervises 4 current PhD students (e.g., Lefteris Dimitriou on epidemics transport) and has mentored 10+ alumni. His grants include ERC (C-NORA) and HFRI (ORAMA), supporting research into epidemics control, connected vehicles, and cardiovascular modeling.

Labs/Teams: His research team focuses on PDE-based control and interdisciplinary applications, collaborating across engineering, mathematics, and public health domains.
