Mathematical Modeling
Mathematical Modeling involves work in the areas of dynamical systems and nonlinear mechanics, developing qualitative and analytical methods for studying mathematical models of both solid and fluid systems. Current areas of application include the dynamics of coherent structures in turbulent flows, the dynamics of legged locomotion (or why it’s hard to catch cockroaches), and models of attention and cognition. The neurobiological, biomechanical, and cognitive modeling brings recent mathematical advances in dynamical systems ("chaos theory") to bear on neural networks.
