Profiles in "Nonlinear Dynamical Systems" Expertise Area

  • Kostelich is interested in nonlinear dynamics, uncertainty quantification, and mathematical biology.
  • Camacho co-directed summer undergraduate research programs; research in mathematics applied to biology and sociology. She's received mentoring, research, and service awards from AAAS, PAESMEM, SACNAS, HENAAC, and ASU
  • Wirkus pursues research in mathematical biology and dynamical systems; authored two undergraduate textbooks on differential equations; does extensive undergraduate mentoring and is Sun Devil Family Assn Professor of the Year.
  • Tang’s research concerns the nonlinear dynamics of fluids that are relevant in environmental sciences and geophysics.
  • Jones studies partial differential equations (PDEs) associated with geophysical fluids. That is, equations resulting from the modeling of the atmosphere, ocean, and interiors of planets.
  • Armbruster is interested in mathematical modeling: Collective behavior of swarms, disaster recovery, production flow in semiconductor factories, signal pathways, and analysis of the evolution of ant colonies.
  • Milner studies structured population models, including demography, epidemics, ecology, and tumor growth as well as how to dispel misconceptions in school mathematics.
  • Smith's research focuses on differential equations, dynamical systems, and their applications to the biological sciences.
  • Thieme works in the fields of differential, difference and integral equations and of dynamical systems.
  • Lopez conducts research in two broad areas: Rotation and buoyancy dominated flows and Interfacial hydrodynamics.
