Research description:

My research is focused on nonlinear dynamical systems, especially on spatially extended systems described by PDEs. While many tools developed in low-dimensional chaotic systems are still valid, the high dimensionality of extended systems requires careful check and special techniques to apply them.

Currently, I am applying periodic orbit theory to 2 simple but nontrivial models: Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLe) and Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation (KSe).

Here are some results that we got:

Miscellaneous

I completed my Ph.D studies at the Center for Nonlinear Science, belonging to the School of Physics of Georgia Institute of Technology. The nonlinear group is not the worst nationwide. We encourage interdisciplinary interactions and investigations and believe that this is a fruitful way to the development of the vast area of nonlinear science. Currently, we collaborate with mathematicians, fluid mechanists, biologists, chemists, computer scientists, ...My advisor is Predrag Cvitanović who is the director of the Center.
