Chaos and fractals in fluid motion
Dr A Moura, Prof C Grebogi
Applications accepted all year round
The advection of particles and fields by fluid flows is a problem of great interest for both fundamental physics and engineering applications.
Enhancing predictability in chaotic systems
Dr F Ginelli, Prof A Politi
Applications accepted all year round
The goal of this research program – which involves theoretical analysis and numerical simulations -- is to apply fundamental results and recent developments (to which the supervisors significantly contributed) of dynamical system theory to enhance our ability to predict the future evolution of complex and chaotic dynamical systems -- such as weather and climate systems.
The mathematics behind the smartness of neural networks
Dr M S Baptista
Applications accepted all year round
Intelligence is one of the pillars that allows animals to master their environment. Scientific approaches recently proposed have been capable of simulating networked systems that reproduce similar emergent manifestations of behavior as those observed in the brain.
DTC PHYS 20 - Symmetries, Duality, Integrability or Chaos - exploring the interplay between symmetries, dualities and the concepts of integrability or chaos in different quantum field theories
Pattern Formation (Applied Nonlinear Dynamics): understanding the formation and stability of complex patterns such as quasipatterns, spatio-temporal chaos or turbulent spirals
